- Here is a PR brochure that tells of some of Linda Runyon’s accomplishments and publicity that may interest you.
- Here’s a page that tells of Linda’s appearance on To Tell the Truth in the 90’s, Episode 142. If any of you can find the footage of the actual episode, we’d surely love to host it here! We may even have a copy in our old VHS tapes if we can find it.
That is all for now!
The legacy of Linda’s radio shows with host George Whitehurst Berry on his show “Crash, Are you Ready?” is here, in the mp3 format.
Clicking on one in a modern browser will open it in a new tab and play it. If your browser doesn’t do that, you’ll have to right click the link, choose “save as”, “save link as” or other words to that effect, and save the file to your computer. Get an mp3 player and listen as many times as you like.
If this becomes a big bandwidth issue for us, we’ll probably remove the links and make access to them a membership thing, also offering them on CD for the folks still on dialup.
Also, the indexes are available as .txt files (pretty much exactly the text below for each year), and the .zip files will make it easier to download whole years at a time if you’re intent on doing that. Please be courteous of bandwidth — take all you want but ‘eat’ all you take.
Enjoy!

This disturbs me.
We are announcing a free video channel featuring Wild Food Expert Linda Runyon!
One video is complete and there are many more in the pipeline, so go to the Official Wild Food Company YouTube channel and subscribe to be notified as new videos are released.
Visit our new YouTube Channel & SUBSCRIBE!
While you’re there, please watch our first video (or watch it below). It was made from one of Linda’s excellent radio shows with George Whitehurst Berry. The information is timeless, and is often not found in Linda’s books & materials.
Episode 1 of “Linda Runyon Radio” is titled “Teaching Wild Food to Children” and serves as a nice introduction to wild food.
After you’ve watched, please go to the YouTube page and subscribe, like (with the thumbs up) and leave a nice comment to start the ball rolling right. Share it on Facebook if you have an account.
It’s a labor of love for us, and you can help us reach a wider audience the way many of you found Linda — through her excellent radio presentations.
Please add us to your blogs, share the video links on the forums you frequent and generally share it with the world-– people are starving in places where they are walking on their food.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
The OfTheField.com team on behalf of Linda Runyon
PS- Don’t forget to ‘like’ the video and subscribe! Thanks ;-
We have changed the way we get our newsletter for most of the people on our list. We had to update our software to keep our costs down (the short story,) but this has had the funky effect of stripping off the attachment from the email for folks who were already signed up.
We are letting the attachment stay in the email because it works for new signups as far as we can tell, but most of you will be following a link to the PDF and downloading it for safe keeping. Much of our readership has no experience saving it this way, so here’s some instructions. There are a lot of variables here.
If you have a web based email program, the link will open in a new page if your browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) has a PDF plugin installed (shows the PDF in a browser window) and display it after downloading a copy. The copy is on your computer at this point in the temporary files, but saving it is another thing. If you just read it and close it, it goes away and you would have to download it again to read it again. That’s expensive for us, so here’s what to do:
RIGHT CLICK the link in the email and choose “Save target as” or “Save link as” or “Save as” and tell it where to save and you are done! The right click command varies by browser and computer type (Windows, Apple / Linux) but the effect is the same: You open a menu and save it. Here’s a tutorial on some ways to right click for Mac folks.
If you were excited to get your newsletter and now it’s already open in your browser, all is not lost. A simple control / command + “S” will bring up a save dialog in most cases.
Alternately, you can also hover your mouse in the lower right of the window and see the Adobe Reader icons pop up and save it from there (the dialog still comes up.)
The save button that appears with the modern Adobe Reader browser plugin.
If your email program is not web-based:
- Click the link in the email (or copy it and paste it in a browser address bar if you get text-based email.)
- Follow the instructions above to save.
That’s it! Enjoy The WILD TIMES newsletters.
Linda met Sean Croxton through Holly Drake of WildBlessings.com, and you can hear the interview here. It tells about how one would go about incorporating wild food into the paleo and JERF diets.
“Paleo” is short for “Paleolithic” here, and “JERF” is an acronym for “Just Eat Real Food”. From the description of the interview:
“Wild foods don’t seem to get enough attention in our Real Food community!
“Linda Runyon of www.ofthefield.com joins Sean in her Real Food Summit interview to share her story of living off the land for 13 years.
“Linda also discusses her Foraging Rules, how wild foods can supplement common store-bought vegetables, and the nutritional benefits of foods that may very well be growing in your own backyard!”
More information about these diets can be found at Sean’s site, UndergroundWellness.com.
For those of you who have an interest in this sort of thing, the entire Real Food Summit was captured to the same style of audio / slide as Linda’s interview, and the whole thing is available at the Real Food Summit online.
It is a paid thing, but people who are into this consider the information to be a great value.
The 27 presentations are from many experts besides Linda:

Speaking of amazing, we have a new spinning globe on the front page that shows every hit in real time. I’m writing this so we remember when we started it.
Dr. James Duke supplied the nutritional information in The Essential Wild Food Survival Guide, and is a botanist and authority on healing herbs, and has worked with the USDA.

A modest manifesto
Submitted by admin on Fri, 10/31/2008 – 15:52
* Field Journal
American citizens are being poisoned by the AMA and FDA, genuflecting to the pharmaceutical industry, which tells us that drugs cure and herbs and supplements are dangerous. In truth, pharmaceuticals kill more than 100,000 a year; herbs kill fewer than 100. There are inexpensive foods for preventing most major diseases and cheap and healthy herbs for treating almost every disease. If the AMA and FDA are really here to protect us, why don’t they compare these things clinically with placebo and their poisonous pharmaceuticals. — Dr. James Duke
