  5. Hi,
    How’s everyone doing these days?
    I understand that Tess possibly lives in Appomattox County – that’s not really that far from me at all.
    I’m in Amelia County.
    & Ed Gleason is possibly between Martinsville & Danville.

    I only forage on my property, not having an experienced Professional to be with me to know the difference between all the weeds(can be eaten as well used for medicinals).
    I have a few physical paperback books on foraging & making medicines.

    I’m super interested in getting in touch with an experienced forager or even in a group that can distinguish between the poisonous look-a-likes plants & the real deal plants that actually can be eaten &/or made to be tinctures, oils, edibles in different forms.
    Can someone get back in touch with me?
    Appreciate it.
