I live in Michigan and have lots of Amish around here. Blackberries too. I've been meaning to get a foraging book. We do quite a bit but there is always more to learn. We have lots of wildlife of course. Raised on it. Love May for the morels! And fall for the black walnuts. I have asparagus in my garden too. I remember when my grand parents built a small deck off their kitchen. It was on a hill and it's placement made it hard for my grandparents to get to. They would hand me gpas jack knife and I would crawl around under that deck cutting those delicious spears of green. Much better taste and much better experience than a grocery store!
