Most of my best work goes to newsletter subscribers only. Free emails blending practical foraging knowledge with deep plant relationship. Brief. Direct. No waffle. 2 minute reads.
Here’s what most foraging content misses.
Wild plants aren’t just resources waiting to be extracted. They’re living beings you develop kinship with. Relationship first. Gathering second.
That shift, from seeing plants as things to use to recognising them as kin, changes everything.
Robin Harford has taught foraging full-time for over fifteen years and has been writing about wild plants since 2008.
His field guide Edible & Medicinal Wild Plants of Britain & Ireland has sold over 60,000 copies.
He shows people how to develop genuine relationship with wild plants, alongside the practical knowledge they need to gather safely.
The Eatweeds Newsletter is where he shares what doesn’t fit in books. Short emails (under two minutes to read) that blend the practical with the profound. You’ll discover:
- What foraging books don’t say: reading contaminated ground, water, urban areas
- Plant profiles teaching kinship alongside identification
- Which parts to use, when to gather, what it tastes like
- Nutritional profiles and safety notes earned from years in the field
- Stories that challenge how you see “weeds”
About 80% is pure plant knowledge. The other 20% might mention a book or course if it’s relevant. No pressure. No hard sell. One-click unsubscribe anytime.
This isn’t purely utilitarian “pick this, eat that” information.
Yes, you get concrete facts, identification features, safety information, taste descriptions. The practical details you need.
But those facts serve something more important: the shift from extraction to kinship. From control to honouring. From seeing weeds to seeing neighbours.
“Zen in work boots,” someone once called it.
