wild foods at your place??

We have growing wild on our one acre: mulberry, lamb's quarters, dandelions, and poke. There is also a bush with little red berries that I haven't tried to identify. Rabbits, raccoon, possum, and deer wander in to eat our garden.

black raspberries
wild strawberries
crab apples

variety of mushrooms
Animals/birds:
pheasants
turkeys
too many deer
and the rest of the typical animals
I found a couple of sugar maples in our woods and hoping for more. The soft maple are more common around here but I could potentially have syrup.

A major lake with great fishing is within walking distance of us and we have a pond stocked with blue gill, red ear, large mouth bass and channel cat.

thanks so much I'll do that. they used to grow in the woods around this area but a lot of timber was clear cut in the 70's so I guess they all got killed out

Prickley Pear Fruit
Nopales (canned these taste like green beans)
Mesquite Beans for flour
Jajoba

I can also glean all the citrus and olives I want from local trees.

would any of you all be interested in doing a wild plant swap this spring?

Crabs, fish, mussels, dandelion, plantains, mulberries, dock, lambs quarters.

Great idea.

I don't have much to offer that almost everyone does not already have, but I would love to swap for some stinging nettles.

Since we've moved to town, there's less wild plants nearby to harvest. Most of the "wild" forage around here is actually "feral" since it started out domesticated and then escaped. We can still forage, though, but it's mostly from the roadsides or the gulches instead of on our property. Mostly it's the escaped feral stuff, too. Guava, coffee and avocados are common. Occasionally bananas. Fern heads, jackfruit, loquat and papayas, too. We have most of this stuff planted in the yard at the house in town, now, though. Easier to get now.
