What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome to Wild Foods & Wilderness!
Hello! Thank you for finding me! My name is Melanie Sawyer,
I am a Historical Forager and Living Historian of the 18th Century with a focus on foraged foods that fed people during the 1700's on the northeastern coast of the USA.
" If you can feed yourself, you can free yourself "
As well as teaching plant identification, WILD FOODS & WILDERNESS will also touch on historical accounts from journals and papers written in the 1700's. You'll be able to use this Wild Foods & Wilderness Guide to entertain your friends and family with unusual facts and also reintroduce these edible weeds and plants into your gardens and to your diets. Recipes are also included!
Some things you'll be surprised that you didn't know you could eat and some you won't know at all but will be happy to befriend.
