Catskill Mountain farmer challenges campus critics who say foragers are 'destroying the Earth'
Fox News
Rick Bishop, farmer and owner of Mountain Sweet Berry Farm in Roscoe, New York, has foraged for ramps (also called wild leeks) for decades. The rural practice, he says, now faces campus critics.
Ramps are a perennial flowering plant from the allium (garlic) family, often called wild leeks. They're one of the earliest greens of spring. "Ramps clean the winter right out of your blood." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
They proliferate in the wild, notably in heavily wooded areas from West Virginia and up the Appalachian Mountains to New York and into New England.
