Oklahoma Wildcrafting    

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
