Many, many years ago Craig's wisdom about foraging was common knowledge and the main way people were able to survive and thrive. Thankfully Craig is sharing this knowledge and hopefully people today will appreciate it for what it is.
You are so right! That was our heritage and connection with Mother Nature. Thanks to Craig for restoring this wisdom. Hope you have a Craig near you. xx
I always enjoy your films. I like watching them before sleep because they delight and somehow calm me. This one is quite wonderful...I wanted to be there at the edge of the sea with you and Craig. I dwell landlocked at present and do yearn for the sea. And her bounty.. So thank you for this. Blessings.
😋 ❤️ Now & then, when I've enjoyed a meal with my raw-foodist friends, I find the food to be SO rich & filling. I can only eat a little, & that little seems to provide me with intense nutrients.
Thank you,!!!such an amazing guest....there should be more of you two....teaching kids in schools ..now....or the connection will be lost forever....it reminds me of my childhood when iI used to go fishing for cockles for hours following the tides......
So informative. Foraging for food is brilliantly enjoyable and so rewarding. Learning what all of what our Heavenly Father provided for us is so enriching and it become so obvious that He loves us and provided all that we need. Learn and Enjoy and God Bless.
What could be better than to be in Mother Nature hunting her bountiful "hidden" gifts set out for us to enjoy in so many amazing ways. It was a true pleasure tagging along in the beautiful shoreline and countryside of Ireland with all of you, a special thanks to Craig for his contagious enthusiasm and wild imagination!
He is VERY lovely. Very kind and sharing. Do share him to your group and he does travel if you want him to come. We have persuaded him to come back to us next year. xx
💕I want to move out of the city 💕- many of my Irish ancestors from up the mountains lived till over 100 even up until the 1970’s’…..all been downhill since …….but I’m learning forest education for early years at the minute and you guys are such an amazing find xxxx back to the old ways is the way to go -it really is!

Enjoyed the video! I try to forage along all the trails I hike and have a list of about 50 edible plants I have found along the three long trails in the US. Surprisingly the place with the most easily accessible food is the desert. When I hiked across Ireland I didn't get much of a chance to figure out the wild edible plants, but I am planning to head back to finish off my 2nd crossing, and then probably do the North to South trail, and hope to learn a lot more about the plants then. I will say that as someone who has spent more time in his tent in the past 6 years than in my bed at home I don't believe cell phones are the problem. Nor technology as a whole. It's the complete reliance on them is where I see the disconnect. When my friends and I hear people complain on forums online about people enjoying listening to music out in the wilderness and how they should just enjoy the sounds of nature we think.. Well, you need to spend more time in nature then. Because we hike for 6-7 months a year in nature and the sounds of nature to us are just normal. And music is fun and relaxing. As far as cell phones, I often take pictures of plants I don't know, and then later look online to find out what they are. They are useful tools and can help connect to nature. Or they can disconnect you. They're just tools and it depends how you use it. Well, that's my 2 cents anyway.
Oh how wonderful to share such knowledge, and ‘re-educate’ us to our forgotten knowledge of wild foods. Thank you so much for introducing us to Craig. What treasures you both are!
Terri this is a wonderful video🍂inspiring and so very helpful. I would have loved to have been there to take that foraging walk with you all! Thank you and Craig for sharing🍁!
Another great video! Thank you. Anyone getting started with foraging, don't forget the common dandelion which is everywhere. All parts of it are elible, providing you with ingredients for foods from greens to wine. 🥗 🍷
What a lovely surprise to see Craig , we were on the same permaculture course together , what a knowledgeable and truly lovely person . To see you both together was a real treat ! Thank you for making these beautiful videos :) Kay
I use many 'weeds' from the garden...but I 'devour within the hour'. I want to ensure I have that 'life force' within those enzymes for optimal health. It is always great to learn how others use Mother Nature. Thanks Terri and Craig.
Love this video! It's so fascinating! This is what we need to be teaching our children as well. Going out in Nature and teaching them to live off the land., instead of them sitting inside classrooms and just keeping them busy when parents are at work. I would love this way of teaching and learning. It's just awesome! That lasagna looked good! I never even thought we could eat acorns or acorn flour. I am truly intrigued now! Thank you for sharing this. I just love your channel!
Thank you Teri and Craig - this was right up my street - as suggested this was a stoking treat! bravo and Craig is right many weeds in the inner burbs ...in Oz too. Brilliant.
Really enjoyed watching this, very educational this is what all children & adults should learn, thankfully more people are becoming more interested in taking care of their self the natural way. I really love this thank you Terry much love to you sweetheart 🦋❤🌹❤🦋
I love your show its very interesting I have fallen in love with your two dogs and I love the horse when he came to you when you were walking along a country road I wish you the best your life must be beautiful doing what your heart desires. I will order some of your books. Thank you very much for a great show.
Hey guys 😊 love the video! I have been learning recently about mushrooms. So far I’ve harvested Ploypores. I dry them and use them in a tea with some honey. Looking forward to learning more. That baked dish he made….looks amazing. Wish I was there helping you eat it 😊 Thanks guys for another awesome video. Hello from Canada 🍁
good morning,Terri.................thanks for the wonderful video...............mother earth give us so many food,only we lost the knowledge.................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden he can, in May next year I am back in Ireland,staying 5 days in Dublin,one day I will travel to Galway with public bus................are you far away from Galway??
Hiya Terri, such an interesting visit. I do hope you will let us know about the rose petals next time? Enjoy your food& friends. Blessings luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝🇨🇦
Exellent, well some of us will go back to the old ways in a new way and others to the new ways in an old way, the old earth will look like the old earth and the old earth like the new. No chips or implants for me! Just expansion of conciouness!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Hi Danu, i think allot about the problem of Rhododendron ponticum growing so much and the other day i was walking in some fairy woods here in Wales, (Ty Canol) and i had something ask me "has anyone tried to have a conversation with the Rhododendron? or perhaps you should actually ask the plant to stop growing so much and if it knows its own vigour and that it is affecting allot of nature with its exitment" i am now thinking of how i can communicate with the Rhododendron and have chat. Do you have any ideas? I often find answers at a cave here in wales which is on a high energy vortex, very powerful. I will take some of the plant with me to the cave for the next ceromony in a couple of days, this just came to me as i have typed this to you !
Terri.... have gone for weeks without any videos from you... not thinking to check the subscribe button... only to find out that I had been unsubscribed.... will remember to check in future. might you mention this to your other subscribers? Some nice videos to catch up on!☺️
I live just outside the city. And after learning about some medicinal mushrooms, I went to the woods and found Turkey tail on different types of logs , i was so delighted! Made some tea after dehydration and absolutely enjoyed it and i have some in the jar for hot water extraction! There were other jelly like mushrooms also edible, but the ones I haven't learned about yet I don't pick, just to be safe.. 😊 Thank you for all you do friend! See you on Sunday! ❤
OMG! He looks like Ted Neely! From the musical opera Jesus Christ Superstar! Such an informative video. Thank you for bringing him on. 👍 Hey does he have a YT site for all this stuff? I'd love to subscribe.
I have scoured the www looking for a recipe for those minty candied birch catkins! I figure this is one of his original culinary creations? I would like to learn how they were made. I could probably figure it out by adapting other recipes or by trial-and-error... is there a resource anywhere that explains the process and the measurements? I live near lots of birch so gathering the catkins is not a challenge. :-)
My assumption is it would start with an alcohol tincture of peppermint, and then use a tsp of that minty alcohol mixed with egg white to coat the catkins, then dust with superfine sugar; air dry or give it some time in a dehydrator. Store in an air-tight jar with a food-safe dessicant.
Have a look at Craig's website - the link is in the box under the film. Craig says it is quite a long process to describe here so suggests you follow any candying recipe such as John Wright's candying Alexanders. Hope that helps. You can contact Craig via his website. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you! I found the recipe he is comparing to. Alexanders don't grow around here but it's cool to know I can adapt that recipe to other weedy treats. The method I assumed was what I would do for candying things like lemon balm leaves or sliced cantaloupe. (for candied cantaloupe, add a little powdered ginger to the sugar! Mmmmm). Take care! Candied Alexanders: edible-leeds.blogspot.com/p/recipes-desserts-and-sweet-things.html
What a wonderful man , he is haw much info we can get, amazing. Thank you Danu and can you send me by email your link for ordering books? Sorry i have eyes problems !
Food everywhere, this shows how people are alienated from the planet and depend on pizza’s and other junkfood, get obese and sick , just by eating potato chips and drinking cola.
I would like to try foraging but around my area the countryside is all private farmland which is basically covered in pesticides,herbicides,fungicides,lime,slurry etc animal waste from cows and sheep.Are there any truly wild areas in Ireland ?
When I hiked the Irish Coast to Coast walk, I didn't see too much I would call wild until I got to the Blackwater Way, and along the Kerry Way and the Beara Way. So south west, quite beautiful and a bit more wild.
Yes, this was a good video, could've watched this all day. This may not be important, but is that a Marjolein Bastin mug that was on the table? She's my favorite artist and it looked like her work??

That's what we said - come on Craig@edible.leeds - he is hoping to get around to it. The casserole was amazing!
😋 ❤️
Now & then, when I've enjoyed a meal with my raw-foodist friends, I find the food to be SO rich & filling.
I can only eat a little, & that little seems to provide me with intense nutrients.
Craig cooked our feast - but definitely agree. Raw food and wild food are so much richer in nutrients that we need much less food to feel satisfied. x
Thank you,!!!such an amazing guest....there should be more of you two....teaching kids in schools ..now....or the connection will be lost forever....it reminds me of my childhood when iI used to go fishing for cockles for hours following the tides......

Thankyou very much for all the informative information. Great video Terri and Graig. 71 and learning something new every day.
Glad you liked it Tree House - we are never too old to learn. My brain has almost exploded trying to take in the knowledge that Craig was sharing. xxx
Enjoyed the video! I try to forage along all the trails I hike and have a list of about 50 edible plants I have found along the three long trails in the US. Surprisingly the place with the most easily accessible food is the desert. When I hiked across Ireland I didn't get much of a chance to figure out the wild edible plants, but I am planning to head back to finish off my 2nd crossing, and then probably do the North to South trail, and hope to learn a lot more about the plants then. I will say that as someone who has spent more time in his tent in the past 6 years than in my bed at home I don't believe cell phones are the problem. Nor technology as a whole. It's the complete reliance on them is where I see the disconnect. When my friends and I hear people complain on forums online about people enjoying listening to music out in the wilderness and how they should just enjoy the sounds of nature we think..

Or they can disconnect you. They're just tools and it depends how you use it. Well, that's my 2 cents anyway.
I absolutely agree - any tool can be misused - and when used properly can enhance our lives. The main thing is not to let the tool control us. xx
The seaweed is an excellent fertilizer for your vegetable garden. Thank you for sharing.
Most definitely, we use it every year but only the weed thrown up by storms. xx
What a wonderful day for all of you. Great editing as usual, the right mix of table talk, nature, and group lecture. Thanks
Thank you for that. It is lovely to hear that the balance was right xx

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I'm probably too far away to participate in any of his adventures, but I can enjoy them from afar.
No more supermarket 🍀
I have scoured the www looking for a recipe for those minty candied birch catkins! I figure this is one of his original culinary creations? I would like to learn how they were made. I could probably figure it out by adapting other recipes or by trial-and-error... is there a resource anywhere that explains the process and the measurements?
I live near lots of birch so gathering the catkins is not a challenge. :-)
My assumption is it would start with an alcohol tincture of peppermint, and then use a tsp of that minty alcohol mixed with egg white to coat the catkins, then dust with superfine sugar; air dry or give it some time in a dehydrator. Store in an air-tight jar with a food-safe dessicant.
Have a look at Craig's website - the link is in the box under the film. Craig says it is quite a long process to describe here so suggests you follow any candying recipe such as John Wright's candying Alexanders. Hope that helps. You can contact Craig via his website. xx
