Hi, I'm Nick. I built Forage Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find something good this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.
Leave a tipTap your ecoregion or state. We map the country into 52 ecoregions so seasons actually match your ground.
A live calendar shows which species are at peak, coming into shoulder season, or done for the year.
Each species lists its difficulty, toxic lookalikes, and any processing it needs before it's safe to eat.
Forage Calendar's seasons come from millions of georeferenced plant and fungus records published through GBIF and iNaturalist, mapped onto US Level III ecoregions. The result is a foraging calendar tuned to where you actually stand, not a one-size-fits-all chart.
Foraging carries real risk. Always confirm an identification with multiple sources and, ideally, an experienced local before eating anything wild.
