I Foraged 100% of My Food for a Month!

Dear Friends! Are you inspired and encouraged to begin foraging and reconnect with Earth? Or to start foraging more than you are now? I have spent countless hours creating resources to be of service to you. Here are my top resources (all of which are free): Find a forager near you: robgreenfield.org/findaforager (use this website to find in person opportunities near you and local resources) My Beginner's Guide to Foraging: robgreenfield.org/foraging Learn more about my month of eating foraged food: robgreenfield.org/reconnect My Foraging YouTube playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHrhas5pE0W6XEE-ffAas9l… This includes full-length plant walks that I led in person and filmed for YOU! Lastly, you can get my book, Food Freedom: www.indiegogo.com/projects/food-freedom-book Love, Rob

I'd love to see more about winter foraging; that's always hardest for me outside of mushrooms, rosehips, crabapples, and persimmons. I'm not always sure where to look in the winter, and it's harder to be motivated to search as long or as far into the woods when it's freezing out.

My dad worked at a chemical factory, and he made a lot of money and retired early and has a very good pension. So I never really thought too much about chemicals and food and everything else until two guys died after a field was accidentally sprayed when they were in it. 😢 To make a long story short. (Kind of🤷🏼‍♀️) My daughters fiancé worked for pioneer seed in Illinois and two migrant workers were in the field and there was some kind of communication issue, and the airplane came over and sprayed the fields. I don’t know if it was pesticides or whatever it was, but those two migrant workers died in a Hospital later that day. And I thought to myself, we are spraying our food with these chemicals that kill people. Why are we eating this? 😑😞😭 ever since then I have been looking for a better way of life. I live in Okeechobee Florida and I just purchased an acre of ground outside of town that has a trailer and a nice garage on it and I am trying to start a food Forrest. I saw, your video on the starter kit and I am definitely going to get me one of those. I already have mango, papaya, coconut, and a couple other trees going, but I definitely want more!! 😊 if you ever need a place to live you are more than welcome to stay at my house for free! I don’t even stay there most of the time I live with my dad about 10 miles away because my mom just died in April and he needs the help. So anyways my place is empty and free if you ever need a place to stay.

Foraging was hard to do in our locale. But you inspired me to plant so many edible plants around my house and neighboring vacant lots. I sometimes sprinkle seeds to areas exposed to sunlight. I plant sweet potato vines and water spinach(kangkong) everywhere. Now I can easily find food around me.

This is new to Americans. My culture and people forage our food and grow our own crops back home.

Planet Earth is made to give us abundance. Just use it in the right way. Rob shows how to do it!

He would win the hunger games probably

Haven't watched your videos in a bit but after seeing this one I am once again hit with the realisation if how we're all kind of trapped in this broken system, and that it is high time for me to pick up where I left off breaking free from it. You are so inspiring and I truly hope to attend one of your food walks or talks someday.

You're the first I believe who does videos like this I've seen acknowledge the genocide and stolen land. I appreciate that.

You are doing a fabulous job, helping people to reconnect with nature and themselves. From Belgium with solidarity. 😀💪👋💚

I forage mushrooms. I take them home and try to introduce them to my garden. I also help them spread my neighborhood and around the area where I found them. Foraging helps the plants as it creates a mutual beneficial relationship.

I believe he covered this a little in the video but: any progress away from big ag is still progress! I know in my journey to try and move away from big ag, it can be intimidating seeing how big the problem is, and how complicated and drastic the solutions can seem. And I believe it is important to remember that there is value in even doing just 2% of the ideal. A small garden, knowing just a few edible plants, even supporting local farmer's markets are all steps away from corporate horrors and they all still count!

Thank you for sharing your experiences and showing decolonizing methods, such as food sovereignty and foraging!!

Rob, you look so happy! Thank you so much for sharing your accomplishments and journey! And for teaching us!

Thank you for this update! Explaining the prep involved before and during helped me understand how you completed this journey. I also appreciate the last bit about, "What if we all foraged?" It made me think if we all foraged, we would blow the dandelion puffs we see growing in yards and parks, encouraging growth so we could eat more dandelion greens! Then, we'd be excited about them and smile more because it's a fun way to connect with the Earth and our true selves.

I love my wild greens pesto. Dandelion greens chickweed purslane,etc. Most of the so called weeds on my 1/4 acre are superfoods. I'm learning a lot. God is good.

You are such an inspiration Rob, thank you for living by your values so wholeheartedly, and sharing your process with us all!

If you ever come to the Eastern part of Connecticut please visit with us so that we can trample through our woods and see what food is out there. We do natural landscaping so even our yard must be full of something. Be well and stay safe.

What an interesting video, thank you so much!! Learned so muuuuch

Dude I was concerned about survival but you kinda opened my train of thought to a much bigger picture I'm still processing this bigger picture and I will let you know how that all comes together. I live in SE La. and have started my first garden and I'm curious about the edible and medicinal plants growing wild in my area. I'm glad I found your channel and thanks for helping me open my mind you are good people
