Edible wild plants, edible trees, edible fungi and other wild culinary delights grow all around us yet so few of us take advantage of this free, wild food. Knowing what plants to forage can help reduce grocery bills and exponentially increase your nutrient intake.
Who am I? My name is Karen Stephenson. I am a professional writer researcher, a Wild Food Educator, Chartered Herbalist and Master Naturalist. My website, www.ediblewildfood.com was launched in 2011 with thanks to my incredible husband. I am the author of Foraging Cookbook (released July 2020) and The Beginner's Guide to Foraging Safely for Wild Mushrooms (released November 2022).
Although I am based in southern Ontario (Canada), I have extensively studied wild edibles throughout North America and I strive to present well-researched information for all my viewers.
