What we’re about
This is a group for anyone interested in learning about edible wild plants and mushrooms.
Eat the Neighborhood is run by Dave Odd of Odd Produce Inc., Chicago's only full time professional forager. He has been providing foraged local products to Chicago's finest restaurants since 2009. He provides foraging walks and tours of local Chicago neighborhoods and parks to teach people about nature's bounty right in their own backyards.
Specializing in urban foraging, Dave can identify over 1,000 species of edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms and guarantees at least 50 different species per walk. Many walks are paired with local Chicago restaurants which offer a prix fix meal composed of many of the plants and mushrooms seen on the walk. He also has property in Iroquois County IL available for overnight intensive survival campouts and more.
