It’s been a crazy end to the month of September! As of last week, we are finally DONE processing anything to do with chokecherry! The exception will be turning the large mason jars of syrup into jelly as the weeks go along. As noted in the last foraging update, we …
The summer foraging season has been a major whirlwind for us this year, but I think I’m starting to crawl out from under it. The tub of crushed chokecherry leaf used by Ashtree Wildcrafting as a base for several of the looseleaf teas, is largely full with two more trays …
Finally getting around to sharing how this week’s foraging run went, and current challenges and escapades. Foraging this week was on Sunday, and the intention was two-fold: get more chokecherry berry twigs with their leaves and berries, and get more goldenrod. A third goal was to get more hawthorn berry …

I sit here tonight drinking a test cup of nettle, dandelion, chokecherry leaves, semi-crushed dried berries and stems, and homegrown mint leaves and stems. I mixed one part dandelion to two parts of everything else more or less, and one part mint roughly. The resulting tea had a very grassy …
The wild adventures continue! This past week, my daughter and I brought home quite a bit more chokecherry than we’d originally planned! The original plan was to get nettle, and it took several days even before THAT came home. But the day we intended to get nettle, we realized a …
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go out onto Crown Land and gather as much salad material as you can before the clock runs out! Should you be late, your vehicle will be impounded for 9 hours. Your only tool is a small shovel. You are …
