What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Learning edible history with Wild Foods & Wilderrness
Knowledge is power..and if you can give a child a piece of information in a way that they will remember..and have it for the rest of their lives..that's a true accomplishment... I had a great time at The Fort no 4..we set up right at the front of the Fort in the Guard House and taught the kids and families as they came in..and I got to test them on the way out..it was SO GREAT to have them tell me all the things Id taught them through handling, tasting and laughing!
I love it!
When you look at this table, the word "feast" doesn't immediately spring to mind, I get it...BUT I guarantee it would be an incredibly fulfilling set of meats filled with proteins and marrow from wild meat and mushrooms ( of course!), carbs from grains, root crops, seeds and rice, sweetness from different saps, cambium and fruits..it's a plethora of goodness that I LOVE to teach about!

The AWESOME Girl Scouts
Whetther Im teaching at schools, groups such as the Girl Scouts or at Historic sites..the value of WILD FOODS is just as important! it's the stuff that gives you your carbohydrates, proteins and sugars, the building blocks of energy!
