Bylane Farm
|
|
Here's a new foraging location, a centuries-old farm with lots of weedy areas, woods, and thickets loaded with wild foods. This tour is co-sponsored by the Bedford Audubon Society and Katonah Green. It will begin with an organic lunch prepared by Table Local Market, followed by a brief talk, and the foraging tour.
This is the beginning of the berry season. We'll be looking for fantastic-tasting wild strawberries, apple-almond-blueberry flavored juneberries, and juicy mulberries. |
|
Plenty of summer herbs and greens will be around. Burdock root, lamb's-quarters, purslane, jewelweed, wood sorrel and sheep sorrel, sassafras, and black birch could be growing in great abundance. |
|
Given enough rain beforehand, we could also find the first summer mushooms, species such as chicken mushrooms, green quilt russulas, black-staining polypores, and Berkeley's polypore.
