My friend Andrea Davis is working as a “forager” for the General’s Daughter, a restaurant in Sonoma, California. She grows herbs and tomatoes for the restaurant’s use, as well as “forages” for specialty foods at the farmer’s market in town.
We also spoke with the Chef, Preston Dishman, who illustrated the benefits of cooking and eating local food.
Here is an article on another California “forager”:
