- Ep 10 - Wildcrafting Thoughts
June has been such a positive and productive month here! Even as we tackle new "surprise" home repairs, there is such abundance coming off of the land and we are pushing forward with our projects. I'm also fencing in the garden because the deer have arrived and they are hungry.
Our main topic for the week talking about some considerations for wildcrafting and foraging out in your neck of the woods. We discuss the need to know a plant's status (endangered, at-risk, etc) as well as understanding a plant's life cycle and how it propagates before we harvest anything.
