 le about Robin’s relationship to foraging: In 2019\, Robin complete
 d a year of growing and foraging 100% of his food and medicine. In 202
 2\, he completed a month of foraging 100% of his food – with no gard
 ens – down to the salt\, oil and spices. He began passionately leadi
 ng plant walks in 2022 and has a wealth of practical advice to share f
 rom experience of how you can truly break free from the global\, indus
 trial food system and live happily on the abundance of Earth. At the s
 ame time as being a highly experienced forager\, he remembers what it 
 was like to feel confused and overwhelmed and he is able to meet every
  new or advanced forager where they are at to be of best service. As o
 f October 9th\, 2025\, he is immersed in a year of foraging 100% of h
 is food\, based in his homeland of Northern Wisconsin and is traveling
  the nation living by example and sharing his knowledge. He would abso
 lutely LOVE to connect with you at Foraging School\, sharing his deep
