Scott Moran
Scott is a forager with knowledge and experience well beyond his age. Where you see weeds, he sees delicious mustard greens. Where you see an interesting mushroom, he knows if it’s edible… and what local restaurants might pay for it. But the coolest thing about Scott is his desire to share his knowledge with you. Each week, he will tell us about his food-finding adventures, let you in on some of the secrets of foraging, share a few recipes and his own philosophies about foraging.
