SYNOPSIS
New Brunswick, like most places is full of food at our feet. Adventurous and tasty, eating wild gives us a new awareness of our natural world. From fiddleheads to spruce tips to edible seaweeds, wild foods open our eyes to a smorgasbord of culinary delights held in the fields, forests, streams and shorelines near our homes. Woodlands yield golden chanterelles. Soft shelled clams lie a few centimeters below the surface of tidal flats. Barrens and rocky shorelines can abound with cranberries and huckleberries. Medicinal plants are also growing alongside these wild foods – in fact, many wild edibles also have medicinal properties. Settlers brought many of these here and presently considered ‘invasive’ species. Dandelions, red clover, yarrow, mullein and so many more are nourishing and healing as teas, tinctures, salves, etc. Many wild edibles have short seasons, but there is almost always something to be gathered whatever the time of year. Come on a culinary and healing adventure with us to forage, identify, prepare and consume the abundance we can find at our feet.
