Foraging for Wild Foods and Herbs–Online Course and Free Webinar
Foraging for wild foods and herbs connects us to nature and also with a part of something ancient and primal. Done sustainably, foraging is a healthier alternative to store-bought food. Wild edibles are richer in vitamins and minerals and foraging gets you out in nature for exercise and sunshine.
Common questions about foraging are:
- How do you identify plants?
- How do you get started with foraging?
- What are the benefits of eating wild edibles?
- How do you know what to forage?
