Learn to Forage Wild Edibles with Sam Thayer and Robin Greenfield

This week I was fortunate to go on a foraging walk with one of the most knowledgeable foragers in the world, Sam Thayer. Sam has foraged over 900 different wild edibles!
Much of my foraging knowledge has come from his excellent foraging books and it was an honor to spend time with him learning new plants and hearing his perspective. In this video Sam and I share 20+ edible plants we find in a tiny piece of land in Kentucky plus a bunch of foraging tips. It’s a great video for brand new foragers as well as experienced foragers looking to get to know the great Sam Thayer and enjoy some new tidbits of information.
