Foraging at Salt Point

I'm so fortunate to live in Sonoma County along the Russian River. The Mediterranean climate makes it easy to grow a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. There are also heavily wooded areas where other plant life abounds.

Last week I visited one such area with my brother, decked in hiking boots and rain gear ... picking basket in hand. It's still a bit early in the season so outcroppings were scarce but we did find enough Chanterelle Mushrooms to make a meal.

And it was such an amazing adventure, I'm certain to do it again ... often!
