Ep# 11 Foraging 101 (Part 1 )

Ep#11 Foraging 101, Part 1 Is there anything more goblin-y than a romp through the forest, identifying flora, marveling at fauna and collecting your own wild food?! We don’t think so… Part one in this two part episode focuses on the rapidly growing hobby of foraging for wild foods and medicines. Join us as we discuss identification resources, equipment, safety, and more to help get you out the door and into that moss-filled forest. All stages of skill are welcome in the Goblin Squad community and when it comes to the ID of food, there are no dumb questions. We are novice foragers and rely on MANY resources, mentors, and identification techniques when finding food in nature. We also are not medical professionals…we are goblins…soooooo no information in this podcast is meant to be used in place of the care and advice of trained medical professionals. Learning how to forage in the area where you live is an incredibly strong way to connect with your surroundings! Listen to this cozy episode and dream about a hidden glade filled with ramps and fiddleheads, the overwhelming joy of finding a desired mushroom, and the comfort of walking through the world with more skills and a positive relationship with your natural surroundings. Chill out in nature and stay weird, fellow forest Goblins.
