Video: Foraging for Morels in Washington
We went on a moral-foraging trip to Washington along with forager Langdon Cook, author of the book Fat of the Land. We went into the Eastern Cascades, many miles up the mountains and into a "burn zone." Many of the morels sold across the nation come from burn zones.Spice Hunting: Fennel Pollen
Fennel pollen is a trendy spice, bandied about in cheffy circles and locavore/forager networks. In an article for Saveur, the food writer Peggy Knickerbocker waxes poetic, "if angels sprinkled a spice from their wings, this would be it." This is only slight hyperbole. Fennel pollen is an incredibly powerful spice, with notes of licorice, citrus, and handmade marshmallows. It tastes like pure summer joy.Video: Foraging For Your Vitamin C

It's an amazing thing to walk down the street and to pick up a weed or a flower and eat it; it's a skill that I started off knowing little about, but have come to appreciate more and more.

Add "cat tails" to the roster of foraged foods like ramps, fiddleheads, morels, and wild garlic, that spring brings to market. Cat tails are also known as, "broadleaf bulrush," common bulrush, broadleaf cattail, common cattail, or cat-o'-nine-tails. One word or two, opinion seems to be divided. They have a cucumber-like flavor with a heart of palm texture. You can use them like leeks, about the first ten inches, and you can use them raw. You can saute them, bake them or use them in a stir fry.Meet a Forager: Avia Hawksworth, Farmstead Restaurant in Napa Valley
This week we bring you something a little bit different from our typical Meet Your Farmers profiles. Avia Hawksworth isn't a farmer. She's the forager for the newly-opened Farmstead Restaurant in St. Helena, California. That means she sources local ingredients for the always-rotating menu and educates diners on where they're food is coming. Chez Panisse was first to start a "forager" position back in the 1970s.Meet Your Farmers: David Falkowski, a Mushroom Farmer in Bridgehampton, NY
In this week's edition of Meet Your Farmers, we meet David Falkowski, known to Long Island locals as "Mushroom Dave."
