Why Learn to Forage?
Do you know which plants in your area are edible… And which are good for medicine?
If the answer is no, don’t worry. Most people these days don’t know how to forage for food… It’s just not a skill you normally need today. Your local supermarket has everything you need to feed yourself and your family, and someone else has done all the work of growing, harvesting, and packaging your food. But what if you could go out to your backyard and pick some fresh mint and chamomile for a healing cup of stomach-soothing tea? What if you knew how to dry or freeze that same mint and chamomile for tea all year long, tea whose ingredients you grew, harvested, and packaged yourself? What if a walk in the woods was more than breathing in the fresh, piney scent of the forest? How would it feel to look around that same forest and know exactly which berries are edible, which mushrooms you can eat, when it’s the best time to harvest them, and how to use them for food and medicine? Not only is being able to find edible plants an excellent “just in case” skill to have, but foraging is a fun and rewarding way to connect with nature, learn about different plants and animals, and even discover new nutritious foods that taste amazing! There’s an entire world of natural, health-enhancing plants out there for you to discover! I can teach you how to ethically forage free, healthy, organic foods that come straight from Nature to your table with urban and wild foraging skills that will last a lifetime. |
Foraging is the practice of gathering vegetables, fruits, fungi, herbs, nuts, seaweed, and other edibles where they appear naturally in the wild. |
