Hi Rebecca,

Just found your blog and look forward to using some of your ideas and philosophy on foraging and fishing. Am living in China, down south in clear sky Yunnan where there is plenty of good local produce and some game (http://chinaharvest.blog.com/). I am very excited about the resurgence of foraging, seems to be very big in north america.. Here there is much to forage, mainly in the pine forests where there are mushrooms galore. Will make your site a regular visit.

Nettle is generally safe for kids. Getting a dietary intake is generally helpful in many forms. Your welcome to contact me if you would like a consult regarding your specific needs.

Aww man, I wish I lived a lot closer. The trip from SC would be a bear! This looks to be a really great site though, thank you so much for setting this up Rebecca! I stumbled upon it while I was looking for some wild edible online resources and kinda spent the past hour reading the various posts. I’m probably a novice at best, but I’ve gotten a good search image with chickweed, sheep sorrel, wild mustard, henbit, and… well dandelion isn’t exactly a difficult one I suppose. I’m the only forager I know of in the upstate besides my botany teacher in college. I’ve been debating spreading some of what I’ve been learning to others around here. Is there any chance you could give me some pointers? I’m itching to get out there either way though, can’t wait to enjoy my favorite edibles and find new species this year!
