Welcome to Wild Food Forays.

G'day out there,

This is a blog I started to post and discuss my wild food resources and techniques. I live in the beautiful Somerset Region of Queensland, a lovely mix of regrowth, native scrub, rainforest pockets, lush pasture and meandering waterways. Clean air, friendly locals and a laid back, hands on way of life are all in good supply. Wildlife and plant life abounds, both native and introduced. All growing madly on our rich soil and decent rainfall.

My interests include bush foods / bush tucker, finding garden variety species that have escaped cultivation, edible weeds, foraging, colonial foods and recipes, survival / famine foods, low intensity wild gardening, food preservation, mushrooms, wild animals foods such as freshwater fish and (mostly!) healthy cooking.

Wild medicines, gathering techniques, advice and whatever little thoughts float behind my eyes will also be making an appearance.

Please note that despite being a somewhat experienced wild food fan, qualified Horticulturalist and long time fan of all things feral, using any information found here is at your own risk. Please do a bit of research, look around and consider your circumstances before identifying, gathering or eating wild foods and medicines.

If you have any questions or comments please feel welcome to chime in, or email me direct at wildfoodforays@gmail.com.

Have a good one,
Aaron.
