Foraging and learning to "live off the land"...

Dr. John Kallas is a botanical expert & author on foraging.

It's been over 5 months since my last post!  My past year has been busy opening and then closing my new business, ForeveRemembered.  Quite a learning experience.

Blueberry care...Pruning should be done by mid-Jan through Feb. but don't despair if you did not have time.  You can still prune your bushes...but it will be more painful for you to clip off the budding flowers..(For more info caring for your bushes, type "blueberry care" or "blueberry" in the "Search This Blog" feature on the upper right area.

Foraging and harvesting native North West "weeds" for food and medicinal purposes has been an interest.  This was piqued as I followed the national & local health care system trends, debates and now laws.  I believe that people need to learn what native plants are available for health use.  With food prices soaring 30%, I also think it's prudent to learn about roadside and backyard edibles.

Enter...John Kallas, Ph.D. of  Wild Food Adventures. 

Dr. Kallas is based in Portland and his new workshop list is out. I attended his Sea Vegetable of the Pacific Coast workshop. What I appreciated MOST about Dr. Kallas is his broad knowledge and humility.  He will NOT share any information that is questionably unsafe, which is why he does not teach the medicinal properties of plants.  He will honestly tell you if he does NOT know the answer rather than guessing and creating one.

The  new 2013 schedule is now available.

 APRIL includes several lectures, seminars and "hands on" workshops in Seattle.
