The Wild Food Homeschool Teaching Guide \u2014 <\/em>The purpose of this Teaching Guide is to introduce the various component parts of the Package in an overview format so that the educator: 1) understands the scope of the wild food knowledge provided, and can then 2) work out plans for each student at that student’s interest and ability level.<\/p>\n

The Teaching Guide presents study steps, such as wild food identification, which are followed by suggested fun activities, such as children locating a wild edible plant near their home and then including it in a meal to share with family and friends. The result of a thorough, practical wild food education is the understanding that free food is all around us, once we know how to look.<\/p>\n
