Bay Area Foraging Calendar
85 edible species in the SF Bay Area
You can find almost any species earlier or later than shown, sometimes by several weeks due to the microclimates of The Bay. Treat peak and shoulder ratings as rough guidance, not a schedule.
The descriptions on this page are for educational reference only. Do not use them as your sole basis for deciding whether something is safe to eat. Always cross-reference with a field guide, take a class, or go out with an experienced forager before harvesting anything. Please respect the land and leave some for others.
