About: Foraging

Daniel’s interest in foraging began while developing a Wilderness Survival course for Refreshing Mountain Retreat & Adventure Center in 2019. In the wake of 2020, his interest became a passion as he strove to understand more of humanity’s forgotten lifeways. He has consumed books by Sam Thayer, and content from Wild-Fed, Learn Your Land, Feral Foraging, and much more. He has, as of March 2026, led over one hundred foraging walks and talks through Refreshing Mountain, homeschool programs, and his own private events.
