EAT WILD

and it will transform you 

I believe the plants that grow wild in their perfect habitat hold an energy that is more powerful than agriculturally grown food. When we consume the wild, the energy of the land releases into our cells and profoundly connects us to the earth in a most natural and healthy way. Eat Wild and see how your body awakens to the land 
I've been foraging and collecting wild herbs and food for a few years and grew up with parents who would take us collecting mushrooms, making nettle soup and skinning rabbits on the kitchen table. I've been a vegetarian since I was 11 because I disagree with the way animals are treated and farmed. Seeing where my food came from when I was growing up gave me an appreciation and an understanding of how nature provides for us without always going to the supermarket. It also gave me a respect for the exchange of life for food and how being part of and witnessing the process of killing the animal really makes you grateful for the food on your table, and for the life that has been sacrificed in a gift of energy. I don't need to eat animals for my survival, but sometimes i will eat fish, very rarely and with prayers.  
 Consciously gathering the wild roots, leaves, berries, seaweeds, mushrooms and flowers is a gentle way of mapping your landscape and connecting with the plants. 
 Eat Wild has grown out of a love to share a little of what I have learned . It's a simple guide to get the curious out there, gathering and making your own wild food.
