She founded Wild Roots Project, an initiative of the nonprofit D.I.G. Farm in 2023 to collaborate with more foragers, herbalists and farmers and to cultivate community. She’ll be joined by Lisa Solomon, a local mushroom hunter and photographer, and member of C.O.M.A., our local mycology association.
