Backyard foraging
Foraging, to reap where one didn't sow, is a great way to find our way back to nature while supplementing our SAD (Standard American Diet) with vibrant foods. We don't have to go far to start this endeavor. Open your door, step outside and get to know the plants you either didn't notice or regarded as weeds, a nuisance even. Our own backyard can provide a bounty that is more nourishing to body and soul than a walk through the aisles of a fancy grocery store. Good news: you don't have to eat a bowl of dandelion greens to feel the health benefits of wild foods. Foraging is an art and science. It requires knowledge for your safety and the safety and well-being of the plants themselves.
Come and visit the homestead and learn the basics of safe and sustainable foraging.
