This is a collaborative effort!  We are a group of wild foods enthusiasts who came together in the summer of 2010 to learn more about wild edibles, both plants and animals (although we emphasize edible weeds)!  We believe that wild foods can become a major part of the American diet, as they are in other parts of the world. 

This group can maximize its potential if lots of meetups were taking place all over Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Remember, you don't have to be an expert to host a meetup of Wild Foodies. I'm certainly not. Just follow some simple rules - 1) don't eat it if you can't ID it, 2) go slow when eating a new food for the first time, 3) avoid contaminated sites, and 4) be considerate - don't take all the berries!   Regarding public and private parks, only forage with permission.

The important thing is for people to come together to help each other identify, discuss, and eat wild edibles! So, I've changed the settings and now anyone can announce a meetup. Don't get too concerned about scheduling a meetup at the same time other meetups are taking place. Our membership is big enough at this point that it shouldn't matter.

I'm also very willing to help lead tours and conduct private tutoring in the Philadelphia area. So please don't hesitate to give me a call. Meanwhile, I'll continue to schedule tours in the Art Museum/Lemon Hill area and work on our free feild guide, research info, and links... which you can find at www.WildFoodies.org).

Munch on!
