Welcome
Oklahoma Wildcrafting is an art form
used by many in Oklahoma. From the numerous Native American tribes
to those who lived through the Dust Bowl and Depression. For many in
our state, this has been a way of life. Why do I call it a art form?
It is because it has been passed down from generation to generation
and perfection is achieved through the constant practice of this way of
life. From the use of broom weed for the flu to the preserving of
wild fruit to the wild medicinal herbs many in this state have taken care
of their families every day needs.
WARNING
Foraging for spring has began here in
Oklahoma. This year more than in years past we find rising food prices.
This season will be spent with a renewed zest canning and drying our
forage. We hope all will respect Mother Earth and forage with ethics.
It is our responsibility to maintain the balance. Wado, Jackie
