Foraging for Wild Food and Medicine

We are in to Autumn now and there is an abundance of wild foods and medicines still to be found. We are very blessed. We may think that our plant relatives are dying away but there is still so much to harvest. Here I am talking about just a few things that I have found in an afternoon.
Blackberries being full of Vit C, Vit A, Vit E and Vit B6, along with other powerful anti-oxidants, make a great food at this time of year and can ward off the common cold. I make jam and chutneys with them and freeze some for a treat in a pie or crumble in mid-Winter.
Nettles are one of the most wanted medicinal plants being food as well. Suddenly they are flourishing again as they do in Spring so I have gathered a bunch to make a nourishing soup. Beneficial for men, women and children they bring welcome nutrition just as we need to build ourselves up for winter.
Hawthorn berries make a wonderful tonic medicine for the cardio-vascular system, for all manner of cardiac issues. They also benefit sleep and relaxation so are very much welcome during such stressful times and when we really need to give care to our hearts - on a metaphysical level as well.

Thank you for bringing the ancient art of foraging to the forefront. Perhaps this will cause people to consider the responsibilities we all bear toward taking care of our Mother Earth.

Well it's spring in Australia, though we don't tend to get wild berries in my area at any time of year. Currently I'm picking a lot of plantain and common mallow, which I dry and keep to use for tea - my sister gets a lot of chest infections and the tea is a good expectorant. There's also dandelion and cat's ear. I don't know very much about all this stuff, but I'm learning and getting better at it over time.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Sounds as if you know more than you realise. Trust yourself - you are doing great!

[@rattlingdjs]

Great videos! Finding a few ripe rosehips at the moment! A treat from nature whilst walking with dogs😁 Was wondering what flea and worm treatment you use on your dogs. Would love a herbal alternative. I'm growing and using lemon balm,sage, rosemary, lavender and calendula. Your videos are very inspiring. I also foraged a little mugwort in the summer!🤗

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Some lovely Rosehips here too. Delighted to hear you are feeling inspired. For our dogs, occasional crushed garlic in their food and occasional Wormwood either dried and chopped or a drop of tincture. xx

[@saschaharper4204]

Hi Terri thanks for the awesome video we have an abundance of hawthorn berries this year too as well as loads of hazelnuts! Can I ask if tincture is the best way to use this medicine or can we powder the dried berries as well? I have someone asking me for capsule medicine which I am not familiar with making at all! Love to you and yours

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Hi Sascha - you can dry the berries for tea or you could make tincture in alcohol or vinegar. Not necessarily better but would be more powerful. You could powder the berries if you wish. I don't personally like capsules but that is how you would encapsulate the berries, by making a powder. xx love to you too. x

[@JuditFarkas1]

I do not see any any comment over here yet, scarcity is real in the grocery store not everybody have the opportunity to forage out in the countryside, or physically do it, I am trying to save everywhere but there is a limit to what you could do for yourself specially if you are limited physically sorry to say that but probably I’m not the only one. Otherwise I do enjoy your videos but I cannot agree with you completely regards from Canada

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I understand Judit. For us here in Ireland it is less scarcity than talk of it although food prices have gone up. You don't need to go to the countryside as there are lots of wild plants in the cities too. I am suggesting that people go outside with different eyes and really look to seek. Thanks for your comment and I hope all is well with you xx

[@rukminidd8115]

You're absolutely right Terry, in nature there is no scarcity at all, it provides us with everything we need for a healthy life. I love foraging all year round, every season has got wonderful gifts. In this period we have also plenty of chestnuts and walnuts (so many neglected trees in my area!). Also plenty of herbs thank to the Autumn rains. Gratitude and contentment are the keys. Thank you for promoting this way of life 🌿💚

We have a 'greenway' (decommissioned railway) right outside. Lots of blackberries (but they struggled over the summer drought) and I think they're called crab apples (golf-ball sized apples). Are they ok to eat or just cook them? Oh, about a year ago, you did a lemon balm video. I'm now growing it and enjoying an infusion from the leaves, thank you.

Terri I think the sudden rise in people having cardio vascular problems may be linked to the mass vaccination programme for covid 19 …….

Love the new music (new to my ears)! Give a pet and scratch behind the ears to those cute and playful dogs. Here in Western Wisconsin on the Upper Mississippi we saw the first teasing snowflakes. The gorgeous sugar maples are bright flaming orange and red. Pumpkins and apples are my harvest of choice now. There are mushrooms too of course but I'm not versed in that. Other things I've noticed on nature walks are hazlenuts, walnuts, chestnuts and rose hips of course. It's time to harvest herbs and hang them up to dry! Hugs to all!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

That sounds beautiful - all those jewel-like colours. i'm new to mushrooms but hope to learn about them this weekend. Hugs to you and say hi to your mother xx

[@dianeleirer9878]

Oh, to have a natural hedgerow with blackberries like that is wonderful! You mentioned mushrooms right at the end of the video. This time of year in south central Indiana/US would typically be Maitake mushroom season in older growth forests, but we have had an atypically long term drought. Maitake typically grows at the base of old, dying, or dead oak trees. It is considered prime gourmet for eating, but it also is very good for the body being an adaptogen. I’d be out foraging for that, but sadly, not this year.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I will be learning about mushrooms at the weekend. I have learned already that ALL mushrooms will enhance the immune system so even if you can't get the exotic ones, use the little white cups or field mushrooms. xx

[@Anne-of-the-fields]

Hello Terri, I recently foraged rosehips and made a yummy jam with it, full of vit C! Next time I will try to add some grated orange peels or orange juice to the jam. It's wonderful how trying out these new recepies gives an instant shot of creativity. And the feeling I get when I look at these beautiful jars of orange goodness, that's just great! I also thank my big walnut tree when I visit her in the garden, I call her Grandmother and she gives us so much walnuts. I collect these every day and give thanks to the tree! Thank you for your lovely video, as always, you light up my day 🙂

[@marydunn3867]

We were en route here for a bumper crop of blackberries ,then along came weeks of endless heat in the upper 30's,before they ripened and they all desiccated😥but we have good crops of Chestnuts(Marron),elderberries ,hawthorn and rose hips and field mushrooms.The squirrels have taken most of the walnuts (garden)and the hazelnuts from the hedgerows. I think a lot of the shortages are because people have become used to eating foods out of season and imports are down of these foods ,there is plenty of seasonal food available ?

Autumn olive jelly!! Foraged here in Massachusetts where its invasive (but still has such lovely gifts) and the jelly is superb -- sweet and tangy and glows like a peachy jewel with the skin strained out

Sounds gorgeous. I am not aware of Autumn Olive but glad to hear you are foraging and making great food. xx

Have a love/hate relationship with my blackberries. They are huge plants here and very invasive. The canes can be a thick as a finger. I do enjoy the berries and have lots in the freezer. Now need to get them out of my wild rose and horseradish. Willamette Valley Oregon USA.

Same here Melissa but I recommend stop thinking of plants as invasive or as this or that. They are just doing what they are meant to. You can cut them right back to the ground, compost or make baskets with them and then enjoy the berries when they come again. xx

The story about hawthorn trees suddenly bearing fruit is so beautiful and touching😊 Thank you for all the lovely videos.

Hi Terri I’ve had an amazing show of field mushrooms around the fields by my house and even on my lawn which is fantastic.I found a few Puff ball mushrooms too.The flavour is so much better when freshly picked and eaten.A glorious time of year x
