Foraging 100% of My Food For a Month - Learn 40+ of the Plants I Ate!

Every. Single. Bite.
Over the month I foraged around 100 different plants as food and medicine. In this video I introduce you to 40+ of my plant friends to help you begin your foraging journey and reconnect to Earth. Food is growing freely and abundantly all around us!
