The Wild Foodies of Philly
   In search of the food beneath our feet!

 

      TOUR GUIDES, LOCAL GROUPS, CRAFTERS, ETC:

Great article on someone who became a "wild plant" tour guide - https://captimes.com/news/a-madison-forager-who-teaches-how-to-eat-bathe-heal-with-plants/article_35589ecc-e1e2-54e1-a824-264862b6c153.html

http://www.thelandesreport.com/index.1.gif Keep in mind - it is always up to you, the forager, to do your own plant research and check multiple sources.

http://www.thelandesreport.com/index.1.gif We are always looking for more tour guides to spread the word. If you want to become a tour guide, contact LynnLandes@gmail.com  Also see TOUR GUIDE TIPS. 

http://www.thelandesreport.com/index.1.gif POSTING GUIDELINES ON WILD FOODIES MEETUP: Only 'event organizers' can post a meetup. Contact LynnLandes@gmail.com for permission. The event should be within approximately 100 miles of Philadelphia. You just need to make “wild plants and/or animals" (for food, fiber, or medicine) the focus of your email or meetup, and not a minor feature.  You do not need any knowledge of plants if you are simply organizing a group walk to learn about plants (as a collaborative exercise) and are not charging a fee. 

http://www.thelandesreport.com/index.1.gif  All the tour guides below are not necessarily associated with Wild Foodies. They have a range of capabilities, no two tour guides are alike, and you must check on their availability. These are not certified foraging guides (as there is no such thing to our knowledge). Each guide makes their own financial arrangements, if any. Some tours are free and others have a fee. It takes time, energy, and often money to host these tours, so compensation or a donation would be appreciated.  In addition, you may also hire a tour guide to survey your property to assess what wild plants you already have, as well as which plants/vines/bushes/trees you may want to add!
