Which Hunt?

The Bite:
This hunt: The one for deliciously hyperlocal, foraged foods. To burn 'em at the stake, or, um, on your stove, try ForageSF. This CSA-like food service grabs a bounty of wild ingredients straight from the Bay Area's forests and fields, plus fish from local streams. Its team of expert local foragers (no death caps for you) find and deliver flavorful wild mushrooms, sour-salty pickleweed (great for salads), stream seaweed, and other we-didn't-know-that-was-edible-but-we-like-it foods, alongside recipes telling you just what to do with those sea beans. Mob it.
Why Care?: 
Wild foods grow both naturally and locally, so no synthetic pesticides or delivery-related greenhouse gases come connected to your box-o-goodness.
It's way cool that ForageSF'll accept rookie foragers' hauls - and pay 50% of its profit on your usable pickin's - but it's a bummer we're kinda lazy. 
Wanna Try: 
ForageSF (617-894-0597). Baby box, $20 per month/1box of veggies and fruit for one, sans fungi; Veggie box, $80 per month/2 boxes of fruit, veggies, and mushrooms for one; Pescatarian box, $120 per month/2 boxes of fruit, veggies, and fish for one.

Cocktail Fact

In 1999 a student in Tulsa, OK, was suspended from school for 15 days for allegedly casting spells on fellow students.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters opt for a dinner prepared with locally foraged rather than imported mushrooms, we'll avert the CO2 emitted by a drive from SF to Anchorage, AK.
