I like to dream of the day when I can wake up at the sound of the rooster crowing and the goats jabbering. Starting my day with homestead chores... Milking the goats, gathering eggs, feeding animals. With the help of the hippiedaughters@hippiedaughters of course!
Then grabbing our baskets and heading out to forage wild foods!


It may not be everyones dream, but it's mine!
Someday it will happen!

Until then, I have been teaching the hippiedaughters@hippiedaughters about wild foods growing right in our back yard!

I believe it is so important to teach our sons and daughters not only where their foods come from and how to prepare them, but also how to recognise and find natural, wild foods.

Trying new foods, especially wild grown foods, is exciting! The hippiedaughters@hippiedaughters look forward to trying new things, learning what nutrients it will provide their bodies!

Plus they learn the value of working together for a common goal.

We had tons growing where our rabbit cages used to be!

We also have a young voluntary mulberry tree. With berries!
Im hoping the birds leave some for us!

We also have an abundance of huge dandelions and curly dock. Though we don't harvest and eat them much currently.
