I live on 12 acres, shared with 2 other homes, one with a couple & one with a single gentleman. The property has some wooded areas, a small pond, assorted fruit trees, flowering bushes, etc., and a good deal of mostly cleared Area with trees here and there.
I have no idea if this is a likely scenario for foraging or not. What I do know is that those of us who live here do not forage, and would not mind a guest doing so. I am a senior citizen and not really in hiking shape. But I would be open to having up to a couplethree folks come out and look around and see if there are things that I would be happy to share that are just going to waste. I enjoy experimenting with ingredients when cooking.
If this property is not suitable, I also have a fair amount of childcare experience and would happily babysit in exchange for wild edibles!
I just saw a photo of the most immense morels I’ve ever seen, gathered somewhere in the area of my hometown of Moline Illinois. Do they grow here??? It’s been decades, but I still remember well their wonderful flavor.
