The Urban Farmer’s Almanac

Jared and Kris were out last weekend and they did a little mushroom foraging (as Jared is wont to do whenever he happens to be near a patch of trees). We’ve gone together quite a few times, and I wanted a few of their chantrelles for some omlettes or pizza or whatever. The beauty of the barter economy is that everyone wins — they got some fresh-pressed apple cider, I got a pile of wild chantrelle mushrooms, and nobody spent any money in the process.
