forageSF is a San Francisco based project that provides a bi-weekly CSF (community supported forage). A box of all wild foraged foods. That means nothing cultivated. No iceberg lettuce or rutabagas, instead we have cattail hearts and minors lettuce. The first time human hands touch this food is when we pick it. Wild food is often more nutritious than its cultivated cousins, and takes no energy to produce (except free from the sun). We mean to change the way people see the woodlands around them, creating a true connection with our local environment, building community around food, and re-purposing the word "weed". Iso Rabins, founder of forageSF, will be on hand to answer questions, as well as holding workshops on homemade sea bean and bull whip kelp pickling.
