About Us

The Foraged Feast is a wholesale and retail food business owned and operated by Maplewood, NJ resident and expert forager Dan Lipow. 

We offer the highest quality, locally and sustainably sourced mushrooms, greens, herbs, nuts, berries, roots, and more.

Dan Lipow is founder and chief forager of The Foraged Feast. His culinary journey to find the best quality ingredients with the most flavor and highest nutritional value led him to start foraging for mushrooms and other wild edibles almost 20 years ago. Over those years, inspired by the many flavors, textures, and colors of those wild ingredients, Dan created countless delicious and nourishing meals for his friends and family. He established The Foraged Feast in 2016 to bring the nutrient-rich and delightful flavors of local, wild, and sustainably grown and foraged foods to the broader northern New Jersey community.

Adam Press has been part of The Foraged Feast family for years as one of our main foraging partners and a consistent presence at many of our events. As a professionally trained chef who has focused on incorporating wild and seasonal ingredients in several local kitchens, he's developed most of the recipes in our catalog. He has also been instrumental in the creation of many of our in-house products. Adam joined the TFF team full-time in spring 2024, and manages the Montclair Farmers' Market on Saturdays and the Summit Farmers' Market on Sundays. 

Lee and Maya have grown up foraging (and cooking) with their father Dan and have absorbed a wealth of knowledge about wild foods. You'll often find one of them working with him at one of the weekend farmers' markets, or running market stands together (at Denville, Duke Farms, and Scotch Plains recently).
