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!
