Pico Island Rural Foraging

Foraging is the act of searching for wild resources such as plants, fungi, fruit, roots, barks and nuts to use as food or medicine. It is a great way to spend time outdoors, interact with nature, and even teach your children that food is not grown in the supermarket and that not all medicine comes from a pharmacy.

All over the island there is food that is being grown by nature, and a lot of it is not harvested. This site will function as a treasure map for Pico Island in the Azores Archipelago, displaying information about the localization of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants suitable for foraging.
