Foraging

Wild plants have resilience, and resilience breeds diverse nutrition and a wide variety of active healing constituents. Wild soils help support the growth of seasonal super foods because the ground is rich in phytonutrients and microbial activity that are foundational to health.

“Know the ways of the ones who take care of you, so that you may take care of them. Introduce yourself. Be accountable as the one who comes asking for life. Ask permission before taking. Abide by the answer. Never take the first. Never take the last. Take only what you need. Take only that which is given. Never take more than half. Leave some for others. Harvest in a way that minimizes harm. Use it respectfully. Never waste what you have taken. Share. Give thanks for what you have been given. Give a gift, in reciprocity for what you have taken.Sustain the ones who sustain you and the earth will last forever.”
