So many recipes, so little time!
Wildcrafting is neither art nor science. It's both! There is an
art to walking through an open field or a secluded forest, harvesting a plant,
and not leaving one sign that a person was there. There is also a science to
proper identification, harvesting, and storing your foraged plants. You do not
want to be mistaken in your identification of a plant. That could kill not only
you but anyone else that partakes of that plant.
There are both art and science involved in knowing when to
harvest a plant and when to leave it, so it will multiply and offer even more to
our future generations. There has been a steadily growing interest in living a
self sufficient life by foraging foods we used to irradicate with chemicals.
While this is wonderful, this means there are more people out there looking for
the same plants you are. We all need to be diligent that we do not over-harvest
and cause the extinction of varied species of wild plants in your area.
Below, you will find articles on information regarding harvesting
and storing (and more), plus observations and stories.
