Welcome to my blog. My name is Katy, and I grew up in the middle of a city, but my parents were hippies. As a result, we did a lot of urban foraging (and skip dipping if I am honest about my slightly wild childhood.) While I don't have quite the same outlook on life as my parents did, I still am inspired by the foraging we did.

Feel free to explore.
