There is a commercial farm not far from here, but I pick from my favorite secret wild patch (the robins and starlings know about it tho'- we share). One of my favourite pies. <br /><br />An annual box of cornflakes, ice cold milk, Saskatoon berries and a bit of sugar is a treat. <br /><br />cheers,<br />jake<br /><br />P.S. I was in Vancouver BC for the weekend, I recall your posts from a few years ago. Lots of yummy food and cocktails, plus the ocean and west coast plants. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-59393169814174644162016-06-08T09:04:10.475-04:002016-06-08T09:04:10.475-04:00We go to the Clarence Hollow Farmer's Market p...We go to the Clarence Hollow Farmer's Market pretty much every Saturday because it's really close to us, but it is on the small side. Personally, I like that so I can get to know the vendors. But I know that there's a larger indoor market, Niagara Frontier Growers on Clinton Street in the city, that's open every day. <br /><br />There are lots of wooded areas around here, but I know there are some groups that go foraging around Colden, which is a ways out of town. There's a local dairy farm that has a small shop open on Friday and Saturday (White Cow Dairy) that sometimes has ramp sauce or different things like that. Obviously, it's very seasonal. <br /><br />There are so many restaurants here, I couldn't even begin to tell you, and there are several organic places to choose from. Toronto is also close and I've seen a list of restaurants there that specialize in foraged foods. <br /><br />Are you coming to Buffalo for anything fun?

I'm watching very closely, as last year I wasn't quick enough and only got a handful away from the robin who considers it his own personal serviceberry bush.
