I Foraged 100% of My Food for a Month!

For one month I foraged 100% of my food. No grocery stores, no restaurants and not even a garden!
Every. Single. Bite.
Nature was my garden, my pantry and my pharmacy.
Now I'm here to share the story with you and help YOU reconnect with Earth and gain food freedom!
The 9 days of preparation began August 29th, 2022. The month of eating 100% foraged food was September 9th - October 9th (late summer and early fall).

It’s the dream of millions. To “live off the land” and never have to take a trip to the grocery store. And through the pandemic more and more Americans have experienced the instability of our food system and desire to break free.
But is it possible to break free? I am here to show that it is.

I have been watching you expand your knowledge through growing, foraging and preserving for awhile now! Great community activism. Our family came over as colonists and sadly the mixing of cultures wiped out 95 percent of the indigenous neighbourhood and from what I heard, they loved each other and who wouldn't love such a self-sufficient, beautifil group. I am in disagreement with your comments about colonialism and capitolism. They left a monachist world to build something that was unconstrained. Though we need a totally revamped economic model based on education, holistic medicine, at home caring. Our ancestors made their own clothes, blankets from flax and wool, raisdd animals snd farmed with only manure until just a century ago.I admire them. They had little free time! Without competition and a free market people become soft and the others brown nosers whose idea of liberty is following a imposed code of behavior, suck rocks. I like whatI am seeing here in my new town Lachute, Quebec, because there are a lot of organic farmers and tree people here. Dairy farmers pasturing cows...Just wonderful to see the markets, even Walmart with a good section if bio! Still, some old style unwilliing to pull weeds but chemicaliy control. A dying breed. I think you are right in that people watch produce spoil right before their eyes mostly because they haven't got a clue as to how to process it. Your videos and seminars are helpful. Neighbours sharing knowledge and bounty, just wonderful! The more we multiply the more we willl need to be able to respect the individual within a healthy collective. I would say over 50 percent of NorthAmerica want it and smaller operations or mid-sized is easier to manage, scrub of pollutants and keep within the community's reach. I am 100 percent with you. Big is not better. Organics should be the onky yhing on the shelf! Thanks for your inspiring work! Peace.

[@planetwalker798]

THANK YOU, Rob. Over the last year I've noticed how much I dislike grocery shopping (more than before). The packaged food, the bright lights and of course prices that have gone up. But unlike you, I was kinda stuck as to how to change my palette (let's address that), give up some foods I do like, and learn again! But your videos (previous), your philosophy and of course information has really motivated me to figure out this new path. Thank you for being you- and for caring! I love the earth, too. Btw, I'm reading a book called Spiritual Ecology. I'm wondering if you are familiar?

[@planetwalker798]

Yes!! And I'm wondering if the places you have traveled in the last month were based on knowing about "food options"?

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.

[@Robin.Greenfield]

The key is to harvest the bounty spring through fall to have plenty stored away for the winter. There is certainly some foraging to do in the winter, but not enough to subsist on. Harvest the fall bounty and then relax in the winter.

[@ArtichokeHunter]

@@Robin.Greenfield Sure, but for me that makes for a depressing winter! Foraging is much more about my mental health than anything else so I'm always looking for ways to motivate myself in the winter.

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.

Interesting to see you offer something like this to that man Tawnya! I was just speaking to my wife about that very idea. Interesting to see you saying in the comments the very thing I told her we ought to be looking for 🤔

[@sathvamp1]

I myself did not become aware how bad "normal" food chemicals are until... I got a throat fungal infection that I had NO reason to get... other than the chemicals in everyday food. And at first, I had no clue what the cause could be. I had to get a lot of inspiration to know what research papers to look up... but I eventually found how how chemicals such as glyphosate weedkiller cause cancer and kill good probiotics etc (I found this out DECADES before glyphosate got into the news or a few textbooks). Although I do not grow or forage my own food (although I do know HOW- it's just lack of time for me)... I DID put myself on a 100% certified organic diet (and after a few years discovered how to get such a diet CHEAPER than regular food, like over $100 cheaper in fact- depends on the types of foods even if they still provide all necessary nutrients). And, probably because "organic" legally means "no synthetic chemicals" (which are likely to be harmful from my own research)... I NEVER had another "surprise" health problem again. I've been on a 100% organic diet for 12 years now and have even saved money.

[@joshuawayne8405]

Awesome work, Robin! I would be so down for joining one month and helping with foraging and processing. I’ve always kind of imagines foragers could specialize so that we all benefit. You may have the mushroom people, the acorn processors and foragers, fruit pickers and tenders, etc. we’d all come together with our skills to get the food we need. And of course to help sow native edible plants and carry on these traditions of gardening beneath the forests 😊

[@Robin.Greenfield]

Indeed, the solution is community food sovereignty!

[@SugoDiGatto]

I think specialization is exactly what brought us where we are now; the guys who specialized in fruits ended up having an orchard to concentrate the foraging in one place, the corn foragers started cultivating it to make it easier, et cetera, until nature is gone and there's monocoltures everywhere. IMO foraging should be all around to be sustainable, and obviously limited to small groups of people; is is definitely not suitable for large groups or you end up creating specialization and economy, or for densely populated areas which would create competition and food scarcity.

[@Falcodrin]

@@SugoDiGatto sustaining a small community is way different from a large scale farm. Native american tribes reached many hundreds per village.

[@SugoDiGatto]

@@Falcodrin which is sustainable and way less populous than any modern "small" town. Try to do the same now with the amount of people and population density we have, and there wouldn't be enough resources to gather for everybody, thus people will start cultivating on their own and trade within the big group.

Actually we can grow some and forage some. He´s trying to make a point with fulltime foraging( the abundance of Nature), but it is easy to plant stuff around the yard and forage for stuff according to season. (He did that in Florida...) Very important about fats and salt.

I had an epiphany... : "you are what you eat" therefore: if we eat capitalist big ag= your are a docile consumer. On the flip side if you do what your doing : " You are an agent of change... a force to be wreckoned with in terms of gaining indipendence for freedom: Love what you are doing.

Thank you Rob!

[@TaraBhairavi]

Proud of you! Please keep it up.

[@Robin.Greenfield]

Thank you Tara! I promise I will continue!

Very inspiring! And, most of all thanks for acknowledging your privelege to have the time to do this. It's a very understated point that we need to address when it comes to environmentalism,. By addressing this we can then move on to the bigger picture of how we can get more underprivileged communities involved in this lifestyle. Even the simplest things like home composting and waste reduction/recycling and community gardens can have revolutionary impacts and promote further change & adoption!

Id probably never eat any of your foraged foods but you seem like an interesting person to talk to!

Love this, foraging is life!

[@michellesummers1010]

I love this!! You rock!

[@CBEEBLE]

Rob - big question? Completely with you re big Ag. However what if we ALL foraged. More people are turning to foraging in London but SO many people are doing it it’s decimated our natural habitats - for example the fungi that were once plentiful on Wimbledon Common have been all but destroyed by over-foraging? How do we strike the balance?

Check out @Lex Luong 's comment about not just harvesting but spreading spores. You could do this with seeds as well... and of course, never take more than you need.

[@cizgi4988]

I would love to see you come to turkey and do this experience here :) you would discover so many flavors

[@thiagoboppresnitzky3101]

Rob, thanks for the video! Couldn't it be dangerous to forage front yards due to possible contamination? I am always afraid of foraging when in urban contexts...

[@Robin.Greenfield]

Hello Thiago, This is covered in some of the resources of my foraging guide here: robgreenfield.org/foraging Health and happiness to you!

[@thiagoboppresnitzky3101]

I'm reaching out to some of the brazilian collaborators to see if I can help enriching the database for São Paulo, Brazil.

[@trueroyalty3342]
