WFG on Wild Fish & Game podcast

January 13, 2022 By Erica M. Davis 1 Comment

Hi folks, I just wanted to share this interview I did with Justin and Kory at the Wild Fish & Game podcast from Harvesting Nature. We chatted about all things wild plants—from beeweed, thistles, serviceberries, and wild plums to dandelion jam, piñon nut milk, Christmas ketchup, and chewing gum history, to seasonal foraging, regional biomes, recommended references, and so much more! Download and listen on any good podcast app or click the image for the episode, show notes, and links.
