Greetings and Wild Food Crafting

Namaste,
Things are going well in my little microcosm. Getting a cabin set up that is nestled in the woods and overlooking a serene river. Hope to host some meditation opportunities for folks, so drop me a line if ya want to join.

“Weeds are in every country of the world, so it’s beyond me why there is world hunger. An entire civilization is walking on their food.”

Linda Runyon spoke these words after years of teaching herself how to live from the land. “I have this driving force to let others know they can survive. I see pictures of Afghanistan children eating bread made from grass. They are actually eating healthy food. Starving people are probably walking on food that would keep them alive, if they knew how to use it. Wild foods can be dried and kept for decades, and their seeds can be planted to grow again after all that time,” she says.

Linda’s knowledge and expertise come from years of wilderness living, and learning on her own just what foods were safe to eat. She became familiar with medicinal herbs as well, as an offshoot of her friendship among members of an Iroquois Indian tribe in the Adirondacks wild, where she lived for many years.

Survival Acre is the first book Linda published about her years of education by Mother Nature. It came into being after she left the Adirondacks to care for her ailing parents in Phoenix. Other publications include “Wild Food and Coloring Book” and The Essential Wild Food Survival Guide, discussed in more detail in the “Testimonials” section of this website.

Most recently, Linda created a survival pack of wild food identification cards which are now available to soldiers through a military action gear company. “When I watch the news and see the soldiers walking in the fields, I see food everywhere in every country. There are 2,000 plants out there that can be eaten freely,” notes Runyon. “I wanted to make these cards available to every military person to help educate them. It makes me feel so good that a soldier can now purchase these cards and may give them to a family that may benefit from them.”

And then there’s this, from Genesis 1:29 of the Bible, where Linda notes that it is written, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
