Resources for Wild Edibles

Follow Offerings for Community on Facebook for pictures and recipes, and read my Hearken to Avalon Blog which includes articles on wild edibles. Read my article in Northern Woodlands conducting a Wild Edibles Land Inventory and here are a few recipes to get you started that accompanies my article in Northern Woodlands.

Here are several resources I recommend to learn more about wild edibles (in no particular order):

IMPORTANT: When foraging, use at least 3 resources to accurately identify the flora or fungi in question. Do not rely solely on an app. When in doubt, leave the being be. Heed ethical harvesting practices; taking only what you need and can use. Do not over-harvest – always leave some for other foragers, wildlife, and for the beings themselves to grow and thrive. Do not forage in roadways, railways, and right-of-ways where flora may have been exposed to pesticides. Do not forage on private property unless you have explicit permission. Give thanks to the beings you harvest and to the Land. Happy foraging!
