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.
I was recently interviewed by PBS and asked to talk about what I see and how I use wild foods that I find growing in the Adirondacks and explain how it helped land me on History Channels ALONE Show, one of the most popular Survival reality shows on television.
10 participants are dropped off into remote parts of the wilderness, in my case, in the southern Arctic of Saskatchewan, Canada as the freezing temperatures of winter start to set in and have to survive as long as possible.
