I know, I know. I never shut up about Mulberries.

Mulberries are one of my all time favorite fruits. They are amazingly nutritious, tasty and in no short supply. I recently had an article published on collecting mulberries in the print version of GRIT magazine. If you prefer, you can read the… Read More

You can find wild food and medicine nearly anywhere. This Elderflower I'm gathering is from a spot that is one of my favorites, and it's right in the heart of the city! Between a Burger King and the place where my daughter takes her ukulele lesson, this little path produces elders like these, riverside grapes, Jerusalem Artichokes, garlic mustard, Mulberries, black walnuts, and more! #urban #foraging #wildfood #nature #organic #organicfood #selfreliance #nofilter #eatwild #eathealthy #indiana #selfie #food #medicinal #plants #plantmedicine #wild #summer #flores #silvestre #comidagratis #comida #plantas
I'm finding myself falling back in love with urban spaces. I've been pushing the city out of my life and have forgotten how beautiful and how wild she can be. This simple space between a park and a hospital turned up lots of #wild #garlic as well as elder, Hackberry, wild lettuce, and more. I'll be back. #foraging #food #eatwild #eathealthy #organic #organicfood
I'll be teaching a class on foraging for wild edible food plants at the Bartholomew County Public Library on June 24th @ 6PM. If you're in the southern Indiana area, come see me and let's share info and experiences! #foraging #food #eatwild #eathealthy #indiana #nofilter #silvestre #summer #columbusin #discovercolumbus #freefood #comidagratis https://www.facebook.com/events/2234232243322015/?ti=cl

It's time to get your Knotweed on!! Take as much of this sour invasive as you want. The more you take, the better off you leave the environment! Look for it near steams and river banks. #foraging #food #eatwild #eathealthy #indiana #nofilter #silvestre #spring #primavera #invasive #knotweed #Japanese #japones #wildfoodlove
This little garlic mustard is at the primo stage for harvesting! The leaves will still be tender and not to bitter and if you like a hit of bitterness with strong garlic notes, the floret is a delicious vegetable. I love them in Asian inspired cuisine or just sautéed with butter, salt, and pepper. #foraging #eatwild #organic #organicfood #nature #food #freefood #selfreliance #medicinal #freedom #indiana #nofilter #silvestre #spring #primavera
