Tagged with 'Wild foods'

Around this time of the year, I am always overwhelmed and in awe of the abundance of fruit available. Especially here in the Pacific Northwest we have a particularly awesome diversity of berries.

Here's a list:
Salmonberry, Thimbleberry, Red Huckleberry, Blue Huckleberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, Saskatoon or Service Berry, Black-capped Raspberry, and several varieties of blackberries.

There is going to be a Wild Food Summit in Minnesota in a few weeks. I just found out about it thru my local foodies here in Fargo-Moorhead. Here is the link if anyone is interested in attending (it's only $50): http://www.wetcc.org/programs/WildFoodSummitII_files/wfs08Gateway.html

It should be a great time because!!! It's also on the indian res. so it is really a beautiful part of the state.

So, what are folks able to harvest from their local bioregion to support their lives these days?

We are going wild with dandelions these days. Dandelion fritters a couple of days and soon some dandelion soda.
