I went for a walk today and found a pawpaw tree along the way. I picked two pawpaws and now they are ripening on my counter. I've never had pawpaw before, so I'm excited. #foraging #foraged #pawpaw #fruit

The great beast #foraged the forest floor a few feet away from the hunter. It's curved antlers dripped with moss that dangled into it's black eyes. The smell it potruded was rot, not of the forest but of death as blood and guts trailed behind it. The beast sneered...

#foraged some of the local wild garlic today and now the house smells amazing. There’s wild garlic salt drying on the range and we have made a batch of frozen wild garlic proto-pesto (basically chopped wild garlic and cashew nuts with a little oil frozen in ice cube trays ready to turn into a pesto like sauce. #foraging #northyorkshire

#grownforagedharvested meals for today:

- Bone broth soup, our chicken and lamb bones plus leftover cut off veg plus homemade pasta

- Quiche w/ or eggs, #foraged garlic mustard, and our own sheep cheese

Can't wait for the sheep yogurt, probably next week as the lambs wean off!

                Into the Wild: Foraging for Ramps and Crafting a Spectacular Ramp Pesto with Anchovy and Pistachio

Foraging ramps is a delightful way to connect with nature and gather fresh, flavorful ingredients. Follow these steps to responsibly forage ramp plants:

1. Know When and Where to Look: Ramps (Allium tricoccum) typically emerge in early spring, usually in April or May, in wooded areas with moist, rich soil. Look for them in forests with deciduous trees, often near streams or in shady, damp spots.

2. Identify Ramps: Ramps have broad, smooth, bright green leaves that resemble lily of the valley but with a strong onion or garlic smell. They also have a bulb, which is white and often tinged with pink or purple.

3. Harvest Responsibly: Only harvest ramps where they are abundant and avoid taking more than you need. Use a small trowel or knife to carefully dig around the base of the plant, being mindful not to damage the bulb or roots. By pulling the plant out by the roots, you remove the whole  plant and inadvertently damage next years harvest, as the patch will diminish over time.

4. Clean and Store Ramps: Once home, gently clean the ramps to remove dirt. Trim off the roots and any damaged parts. Store them in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel or cloth for up to a week.

By foraging ramps responsibly, you can enjoy their unique flavor while preserving these wild plants for future years worth of foraging harvests.

Try this recipe out today! I really enjoyed this pesto toasted up on bread, the green color from the ramps was vibrant and oh so seasonally green and the taste fresh, garlicky and little spicey. See recipe below for the pesto recipe and further below for my take on “garlic bread” with a ramp leave substitute for the garlic!

Another 6 gals of sap this afternoon, and a windstorm so we didn't collect in the evening. Buckets will be very full in the morning and we're running out of places to put it due to the weather. Good thing tomorrow night is back under freezing, but we may not be able to stay ahead of it. We'll see!

In other news, we're down to the last 2 baggies of frozen #foraged greens from last year. Not too bad, we'll be done being bored with garlic mustard and dandelion just when they go nuts again.

Homemade Elderberry Jam. A sweet and floral jam that's a seasonal treat for your toast.

I went wild #foraging with a friend to a nearby wood. Got damsons and cherry plums. #foraged

Went for an evening walk with Adam and found a tonne of giant mushrooms that look very edible. Our Ukrainian guest will have a look at them tomorrow. She knows about mushrooms (and I always wanted to learn, so that's exciting!)

And in other news, #wineberries are back! Tonight's harvest was puny, but in a few days I hope to have enough for a delicious wineberry crisp 😋

Do you have wineberries where you are? Here's a link to my crisp recipe, in case you want to try it: https://www.lisaclarke.net/2014/07/21/wineberry-crisp-2-0-now-healthified/

Today I #foraged enough Salsify for a couple of servings. My partner cooked the tender stems and unopened flower buds with a little #vegan butter and salt. Absolutely fabulous! I have just started to get serious about #foraging and have snacked on these a little in the last week. They are quite tasty raw, also. Tomorrow I’m going for common milkweed shoots. They are supposed to be good to eat after a quick boil or steam.

Happy #Spring #Equinox to the Northern Hemisphere!

& Happy #Autumn Equinox to the Southern Hemisphere!

I'm currently in the latter, so here is today's celebratory #food:

Assortment of some loose #incense blend glamour shots. I've shared most, if not all of these on my Instagram at the time of their creation, but I realised I never made a moodboard for them, which is a shame because I love moodboards.

From top to bottom and left to right we have: a #devotional blend for Murmur, a #deathwork blend made specifically to honour and guide to peace a queer elder after she tragically passed, an #offering for Beleth and lastly a #necromancy blend, with my #pendulum adding in that extra deathy vibe.

If anyone's interested at the specifics of the herbs, I'm happy to share! Every #herb and #resin I use is either #homegrown or #foraged.

#Foraged #wild #mushrooms from the forest 🥰 #OysterMushrooms & #chanterelles are abundant on #VancouverIsland - never #harvest more than you need to feed your family 🙌 Never eat any wild mushrooms unless you can identify it 100% & know it's safely edible.
