Foraging 101

  • Harvey Family Farm 101 Harvey Lane Johnson City, TN, 37604 United States (map)

Discover the wild and wonderful world of edible plants—right in your own backyard.

Join us at Harvey Family Farm for a gentle, hands-on introduction to foraging for wild edibles. This workshop is perfect for beginners, nature lovers, and curious eaters who want to reconnect with the land in a meaningful (and delicious!) way.

Together, we’ll walk the field and fencerows, learning to identify common “weeds” that are actually edible and nutrient-rich—many of which you probably step over every day. You’ll taste, smell, and explore a variety of safe-to-sample plants, and we’ll wrap up by creating a simple, fresh salad from the wild greens we find.

🌱 You’ll Learn:

  • How to safely identify 6–8 edible wild plants

  • Basic foraging do’s and don’ts (ethics & safety)

  • How to prepare and enjoy wild greens at home

🧺 What’s Included:

  • Guided foraging walk on the farm

  • Hands-on tasting of wild edibles

  • A forager’s salad that we prepare together

No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity, comfy shoes, long pants and an appetite for adventure.
