“foraged and found in the garden on top in the trash on the bottom. life is so full of abundance if you know where to look, which trash can to open, which tree to glean, i give my thanks…” These Days in French Life
Please do not click on the link below unless you want to get sucked in and sit in front of your computer for the next hour. I’m serious. Don’t do it. Consider. Yourself. Warned.
A year ago {or maybe two} I noticed a link on my friend Figgy’s website Give a Girl a Fig. The link was to a woman who lives in France and forages for her food via farmers and dumpsters. The food she brings home is not only amazing, but her recipes and photographs are amazing as well.
Go HERE to view These Days in French Life.
Enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful photos!
I DID look for an hour and didn’t finish looking (yet) b/c I had to read each explanation, too!
Very interesting stuff! I watched a documentary on this once and thought it was very interesting. Thanks for the link 🙂

Yup, this is the way we roll at our house. I get boxes of produce from our local store “for the goats” (who have been in the freezer for a couple months, now). We eat what we can (usually a lot of the box), and save the rest for friends who have chickens or compost it. We’ve gotten some amazing things that I would have never purchased (18 artichokes? Enough tomatoes to make 2 gallons of salsa?)…all for $1/box or less.

Oh my lands. Now why in the world did you have to introduce me to this? Sorry, family. Mama will be preoccupied for the next few days….
