Forage Friendly Restaurants / Farmers Marketers

Let's start a list of restaurants / Farm Stand and Farmer's Marketers who are open to including foraged ingredients in their menu...

So that if one of us comes across a really tremendous find, it does not go to waste.

I tried this last year with a couple of mushroom bounties and it is tricky to get timing right. Many restaurants order for their menu in advance and though they may love to work a deal, they may already be stocked and not need it. Then by the next weeks food orders the goods are rotted... So being able to contact from the field BEFORE harvesting is key...

Maybe somewhere on here, we can post a listing of phone numbers and chef's name or person to contact at the restaurant / market who would approve foraged items....

If we all ask around during our normal lives, sooner or later we will be able to compile a good list and help each other out.

As I posted earlier, I know Mark Propper at Miss Lucy's in Saugerties is one... I have not worked with him yet though... Just missed him a couple times last year with a surplus of Maitake.
