I live in Altamont off 108. I learned much watching YouTube. I also have purchased very many books on the subject. Would you like to get together for some fresh mint tea?
I am interested in learning more about foraging especially in East Tennessee. I would like to encourage anyone who forages frequently and has good knowledge to consider streaming their activity and teaching us using a streaming platform (i.e. Twitch or other platform). I think it would be a win for the person who does this and those who want to watch their content.
