Since time began humans have been foragers. Survival depended on connecting to the natural world. Today, when most of our food comes from a grocery store or is eaten in a restaurant, that link has been lost. But not for Tim Clemens. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Tim, a professional forager and founder of Ironwood Foraging about how he's helping people connect with nature; and not in the middle of the forest or farm country, but near his urban home of Minneapolis.Key Takeaways:  Foraging is not limited to rural or wilderness areas—urban environments, like the parks and green spaces in Minneapolis, offer surprising edible treasures. Learning to identify wild edibles is key to safe foraging, and local foraging groups or societies can be invaluable resources for beginners. Tim emphasizes the importance of indigenous traditions and thinking long-term, such as planting trees for future generations, in the practice of foraging. Foraging creates a deeper connection to the natural world, making people more mindful stewards of the environment by seeing it not just as scenery, but as a source of sustenance. Foraging is becoming increasingly popular, moving beyond farm-to-table into forest-to-table, and gaining recognition in both local communities and top-tier restaurants.Notable Quotes: "Foraging has gotten so much more popular, and just like the farm-to-table movement, the next iteration of that is the forest-to-table movement or the prairie-to-table movement." "You need to identify the species you're trying to eat before you eat it. You really should identify something first because there are things that can hurt you." "When you're foraging, suddenly it's your blueberry patch... it's not just a backdrop for human activity anymore. You're going to be attached to individual trees...and you're just going to be a better naturalist for that." "For most of the year, I don't buy rice because I harvest my own. There are things I never buy anymore. I don't buy fruit, I don't buy greens, I don't buy mushrooms, and I don't buy nuts." "We have folks who have backgrounds in biology like myself and folks who have backgrounds in graphic design. There's room for all those people and a need for all those people because we need people to balance our budgets, fix our computers, design our graphics."Resources: Ironwood Foraging Website: https://ironwoodforaging.com/  Minnesota Mycological Society: https://minnesotamycologicalsociety.org/  National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation: https://www.nplsf.org/ Be sure to tune in to this insightful episode of the Lake Superior Podcast to learn more about the art of foraging and how you can reconnect with the environment through this ancient practice. Connect With Us:Website: https://www.nplsf.org/lake-superior-podcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundation/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundation/

Our guest today is Tim Clemens of Ironwood Foraging, back for his second appearance. And this one is a lot of fun. In fact, Daniel was enjoying this conversation so much that he had to pull himself away to make his next appointment. They kind of range all over a pretty broad topic set just having fun and seeing where the conversation led them. We think you'll appreciate the outcome. Otherwise, we're going to be brief today, and let this conversation speak for itself because the grid is down here, and we've been without power for a few days now. Daniel had to shut the generator down to record the podcast intro due to the incessant grumbling noise it makes, so had to record on battery power. There's a thick blanket of heavy wet snow bending all the gray birches and young poplars over pressing their canopies to the frozen ground. They say we won't get power restored for another 36 hours or so, which is just part of living in rural Mane. It's a bit of fun having this disruption to modernity, but it also makes things like podcasting a bit more challenging. Oh, and one quick bit of housekeeping, we're going to take next week off from the show to focus on the Holidays, so there won't be a podcast next Tuesday. But of course, we'll be back the following week. Until then, we hope you have an incredible winter solstice and Christmas. As the Crooners say “It's the most wonderful time… of the year!” View full show notes, including links to resources from this episode here: https://www.wild-fed.com/podcast/164

In this Ecosystem Workshop from the 2022 Reach Australia conference, Tony Payne and Tim Clemens talk about the theological and practical aspects of belonging, membership and community in our churches. https://reachaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ECO-WORKSHOP_BELONGSINCOMM_TIM-TONY.pdf

“I think you are a purist”, a friend said to me after I'd just given a presentation on ‘community and belonging' at last week's Reach Australia conference.“Who me?” I lamely chuckled, but then immediately wished I'd said something more witty, like: “What would you prefer? An impurist?”My talk at Reach was an expanded version of last week's post, and majored on the same point—that Christian ‘community' and ‘membership' and ‘belonging' is created and built by one thing only: the presence of Jesus Christ in our midst through his word.It was a fun seminar, filled out very ably by Tim Clemens's practical wisdom on what those theological themes mean for how churches can welcome and integrate new members, and disciple them to be part of a rich Christ-centred community.When my friend expanded on his ‘purist' comment, it was really to explore a question that had been raised in the seminar, as follows: granted that Jesus is the centre of our community, and the head of the body of which we're members; granted also that this makes the word of Christ ‘dwelling richly amongst us' the vital factor—how then do we think about the place of our actions in building Christian community? What about just going out to dinner with people, or playing board games, or painting the front room together? Don't these sorts of things do anything for our ‘sense of community'? Would it be okay with the purist if we just hung out?The first thing the purist would say is that human friendship, togetherness and relationship are good things in themselves. They don't need any further justification or purpose. There's no need to question our consciences about whether ‘hanging out' is really okay if there are no Bible verses present.This is especially so because many people today, sadly, are starved of the joys of human friendship and togetherness, particularly in the dislocated, isolating life of the modern city. To provide those simple pleasures (by hosting that dinner party or games night) is an act of real kindness—on the same level as helping an elderly neighbour with their lawns. In itself, it doesn't create Christian community as such or build the body of Christ (as we've defined it), but it's still an act of goodness and love.However secondly, hanging out together in smaller informal settings creates a context in which Christian community can flourish. Tim Clemens fleshed this out very helpfully during our seminar. He pointed us to research that showed how people relate differently (and gain different things) in groupings of different size:* In ‘public' contexts (100+) we normally gather to engage together with something outside ourselves, like at a sports game or a concert or a church meeting;* In ‘social' contexts (20-70), we interact with an affinity group of some kind, sharing snapshots of ourselves—like at a party or at morning tea after church;* In ‘personal' contexts (4-12), we reveal more of ourselves, and likewise get to know others at a deeper level—as at a dinner party or a small Bible study group;* In ‘transparent' contexts (2-4), we can be open and vulnerable, and share our innermost thoughts and experiences—usually with our marriage partner or a close friend.We can build the community of Jesus Christ in different ways in each of these contexts or social spaces, because we can share his word in various ways with different benefits at each level—from the sermon that challenges us all, to the series of conversations afterwards which teases it out, to the more personal conversations where we grapple with our own personal weaknesses.So it's not that hanging out with ten people automatically creates Christian community, and we shouldn't confuse the joys of just being with other people with the unique thing that is Christian community. But unless we hang out with ten people, and create the trusting social space in which we can talk to each other, how can we have the opportunity to fellowship around the word of Jesus Christ at that more personal level? How can we have all the different kinds of conversations we need to have about understanding and believing the word, and living it out?As I mentioned in last week's post, we can facilitate community-in-Christ by creating “the optimum number and variety of contexts where people can be together as those who share Jesus Christ”.Including just hanging out.This leads to a second insightful question that was asked at the seminar about our actions in community: What are the benefits of people actually serving each other for building Christian community? Surely loving service and action for the sake of others is a genuine expression of our ‘community' and ‘membership', and increases our personal experience of it?Hard to argue with that. In fact, on this basis, many churches work hard at getting as many people as possible involved in serving each other. The more people start to exercise the muscles of practical service, and take an active part in community life, the more they tend to experience a genuine sense of being part of that community. And this includes newcomers who are seeking to join that community.However, there's an important caveat. If my practical service is not framed, motivated and directed towards the word of Jesus Christ—if it is just doing a job that needs to be done, and which makes me feel good because I'm useful—then it won't express or build genuine Christian community. In fact, it might even lead to false or ‘fleshly' community (to use Bonhoeffer's term), which is based on my longing to be needed and recognized.Bonhoeffer explains this well in Life Together. He is very sharp about the poisonous possibilities of those who long for community but don't long for Jesus Christ, including those who act from the need for self-justification rather than from the freedom of justification by faith.However, he also says that while the mutual ministry of the word is the ‘highest' form of Christian service, and the one to which the others lead and are directed, it is not the only form of mutual love in a Christian community. He identifies three other forms of service: ‘listening' to each other, ‘forbearing' with each other, and what he calls ‘active helpfulness'. This last form is what we are usually speaking of when we talk about ‘practical service'.We mustn't despise this form of service, he says, as if it is beneath us, or in some ways less worthy:Nobody is too good for the lowest service. Those who worry about the loss of time entailed by such small, external acts of helpfulness are usually taking their own work too seriously. We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God, who will thwart our plans and frustrate our ways time and again, even daily, by sending people across our path with their demands and requests. We can, then, pass them by, preoccupied with our more important daily tasks, just as the priest—perhaps reading the Bible—passed by the man who had fallen among robbers.The one who is focused on the ministry of the word shouldn't despise the opportunity to help others practically. Nor should the one who feels comfortable in practical service rest content in doing something ‘useful', and leave the sharing of the word to others.All Christian practical service is motivated by the word, directed by the word and has the speaking of the word in prospect. As the morning tea team serves coffee and washes dishes, those involved are not only motivated by the gospel, but are helping to create one of those social contexts in which the congregation can speak with each other. It's a word-motivated and word-directed service, even though it is hands-on and menial in nature.This leads to a final point. How can we ensure that this ‘practical service' is indeed motivated by and directed towards the word of Jesus Christ?By teaching and training. This was my mantra in answer to many of the questions that were raised during the seminar.If we want our people to understand what Christian community and membership really is, and to live it and practise it, we need to teach them about it, just as the apostles themselves did on numerous occasions to their hearers in the New Testament (such as in Rom 12 and 1 Cor 12-14 and Eph 4-5).This is a statement of the bleedin' obvious if ever there was one, but I am often struck by how meagrely and haphazardly we teach about such subjects in our churches. We do the essential work of expounding the Scriptures week by week, and we also study Bible passages in our small groups (often the same ones). But the integrative work of applied theology—that is, the task of drawing the Bible's teaching on a subject together, and showing what it means for our lives … this is something we do much less often, and less effectively.How could we do it better?I have thoughts. But given that this post is already quite long enough already, I'll return to those thoughts next time.PSAs always, please get in touch with your thoughts, observations and questions.

Tim Clemens, AKA @MNForager on Instagram, is the founder of Ironwood Foraging Co, a Minnesota-based wild food and foraging education company, and someone Daniel's been writing back and forth with on social media for some time now. He was formerly the president of the Minnesota Mycological Society, which gives him deep expertise on edible fungi, and he also has a degree in anthropology and archeology, so his perspectives on foraging are firmly grounded in an understanding of big human history. Daniel and Tim finally got a chance to meet up for a podcast and discuss their foraging philosophies. Over the years, his page is one of the places we've visited to keep our finger on the pulse of what's happening in the wild food world and to get new ideas about species we might also want to chase down, harvest, and ultimately eat ourselves. Like Daniel, he's not afraid to get experimental, even playing with entomophagy, eating species like invasive Japanese beetles, or making unusual recipes for his blog, like black ant ice cream. But bigger picture, he thinks we need more, not less, people out there foraging, and for very similar reasons as us. People only care about what they know. Like Tim says in this interview, food is a trojan horse for knowledge. And while both he and Daniel are passionate about teaching people to feed themselves on foods they harvest from the landscape, ultimately, they are both really reacquainting people with nature itself. And that, beyond food, has the power to create real, positive change. People who aren't acquainted with nature are never going to be able to live harmoniously with it. In other words, foraging is a practice with very real and important ecological implications — both in the short term, but also on the longer timeline too. When Tim says that — despite the challenges we face with potential over harvest or pushback we receive for harvesting from wild lands and species — more people should be out there foraging, we… couldn't agree more.
