Come walk with us

Let me tell you a little bit about myself - my name is Aidale, my friends know me as Lee. I am married to my amazing husband called Bear and we both harvest and make some medicines and forage edible wild foods for our family and friends here in the Northwest of CT.

I feel we found ourselves wondering how we can be more proactive in our self-healing and health for ourselves and our family.
