Foraging Journal now available!

Hello fellow foragers! I'm so excited to announce my Foraging Journal is now available to order!


Have you found yourself researching plants only to forget it later on? Or perhaps out exploring only to forget a name or harvest technique? I created this Foraging Journal for you! It is created for you to document and retain information about plants. 

I will be creating a video on how I use my Foraging Journal and ways to fill out so please stay tuned and sign up for emails if you are interested in that. For now, you can order your Foraging Journal here. This is NOT an identification guide but a journal. 

About the journal:

This is an easy-to-use, simple journal to keep track of what you are foraging in a warm and welcoming format. Since it's proven that we retain more information when we write it down, there are places to record plant information, foraging trips, and delicious recipes so you can always remember what you already learned. There are also places to draw out maps, list foraging goals, and document seasonal plans. Whether you are new to foraging or an experienced forager who wants to keep better records and organize their thoughts, this journal is perfect for you.

This is NOT an identification guide. It is a journal for you the owner to fill out. Just as we are all unique, each foraging journey is unique and this journal is for you to fill out your own experiences and research you found pertinent. Please use additional identification guides or books to help you! For additional books, check out my post A Forager's Library.

Did you know originally marshmallows came from a plant? Marshmallow (or marsh mallow or Althaea officinalis) is actually a herb! The scientific name of this plant comes form the Greek word "altho" which means to cure. Marshmallow is an amazing demulcent and soothes mucus membranes or any sort of irritated tissues. Rosemary Gladstar in her book Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Healt h states "Our pioneer parents cooked the root with honey or sugar, formed into soft balls and gave it to their children to suck on to sooth a sore throat." Yes, marshmallows were originally a remedy! Not a super sticky, sugar overdose like they are today. In this post, we will combine the herb marshmallow with it's modern candy counterpart! However Marshmallow Root Marshmallows are nothing like what you'll find in the store. They are soft and slightly sticky. Still very sweet but definitely more of a gentle treat and not something you can stick in a marshmallow gun.  We are using local

It is said books are an uniquely portable magic. Books definitely add to the magic that is foraging. It is important as a forager to curate a library that is both invigorating and accessible, informational and inspiring. Fortunately for you, there are many great foraging books to be had! I started a list of great foraging books for you! Feel free to comment with any favorites I've missed.  This blog post may contain affiliate links. And by the way, you can now purchase my Foraging Journal to record all the amazing information you have learned!

Some interesting, mostly raw recipes in the back!  My next favorite is Wild Remedies: How to F
