Forager is a documentary that explores the relationship of artist Tiffany Noé to urban foraging in Miami, a place that not many see as a food-centric location. Not only is she an artist and forager, Noé is also an urban farmer, CSA owner, garden installer, and author who has inspired others to forage, including a group of eighth graders who started a foraging club. She sees foraging as participating in an American tradition.
