Thursday 3/12- Wildman Steve Brill - The Man Who Ate Central Park!



Wow! I will have a very entertaining guest on Thursday's show. Wildman Steve Brill has been foraging in NYC including Central Park for over 20 years. We are going to talk wild foods, including amazing weeds like plantain and dandelion, chickweed, incredible herbs like nettle and so much more! These are our foods to reclaim from the land. We can be empowered to gather and grow our own food, which is far superior in nutrition than anything we could likely purchase in the regular ol' produce aisle. There is a natural sense of triumph, I think, when we gather our own food. Let's get a better understanding of the nutrition of wild foods, how you can begin foraging, and some very fun recipes that you can make from food you gather yourself.

Join us on Thursday, March 12th at 4pm PACIFIC time! Call in with your questions at:
