Gratitude. Living and Eating Wild. Foraging Through the Year and Giving Thanks.

This Thanksgiving, we give thanks for our health and the health of those we love above all else, and take a moment to reflect upon the beautiful year that we have had. Living with nature, never taking more than we need, and respecting all things is paramount to the life we live.
This year has not been without its challenges, but we take every opportunity to look for the good in life and find beauty in the simple things.
I hope you enjoy this video journey of our spring through fall, foraging, hunting and growing the healthy, earthy food that we eat. We are lucky to live in a land rich with beauty and the changing seasons.
Stay well my friends!

Was just looking around saw this. Wonderful captures! Wondering how you finished preparing the puff ball mushrooms. I think those were puff ball. And I assume the elderberries were being use for making syrup? We did that once for jam. Our farrier makes elderberry tincture, very good.

[@IrisGardner]

Yes! We typically find the giant puffballs in the fall. I make an elderberry syrup with fresh elderberries and some of our raw honey. 😊

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

I had an unfortunate life, brought up by violence and deprived of living with animals, i would have loved to live with horses.

[@IrisGardner]

Maybe it’s not too late to get horses or animals in your life?

[@sidneyarbor177]

Where is this magical land?

[@IrisGardner]

Hi Sidney, we are in NE Washington state. 😊
