Welcome to Food Afield

Welcome to the Food Afield Podcast.This short introduction lays out what the show is about and what’s coming next.Food Afield is built around one idea: real food is closer than most people think. Each episode follows a single ingredient—or a single meal—from start to finish. Where to find it, when it’s ready, how to take it, and how to cook it.This isn’t theory or gear-heavy advice. It’s practical, seasonal knowledge from the field.The first episodes begin on the Pacific coast, working with shellfish and shoreline food. From there, the show expands—fly fishing, hunting, backcountry cooking, and the broader story of wild food across landscapes and seasons.If you’re interested in understanding how to actually gather and prepare your own food, you’re in the right place. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit foodafield.substack.com
