Maybe we ought to have our heads checked, but we believe taking curious and adventurous people into the woods in pursuit of these culinary treats is a high calling. Virginia offers a surprising number of tasty treats in a revolving array through most of the year. Give us a buzz, and let's talk about whether this is the right adventure for you or not.
Example edibles: Acorns (and how to leach/prepare/make flour), walnuts, plantain (a green, not a fruit), ramps (an amazing wild onion), paw paw fruit, wild raspberries and other berries, smilax vine and many more.

Late spring through fall brings us repeated/extended emergences of these delicious mushrooms. You'll feel like a kid again on an Easter egg hunt or combing the beach for shells. A successful hunter can fill a small bag with these amazing mushrooms.
All mushroom hunting carries risk of mis-identification and this is what keeps people away. But we've narrowed our quarry down to those with fewer dangerous mimics, and we'll teach guests how to approach mushroom foraging with caution. Despite our confidence in mushroom ID, we do not recommend eating the mushrooms we forage without expert identification.
