Foraged Food

The interest is growing amongst people who are tired of genetically modified, tasteless food. Email us for information on how you can find free, foraged wild food.

 

In order to comply with USDA food safety regulations, we do not sell nor provide anything containing meat, poultry, canned low acid foods, or dairy products. We sell herbs (plants) for a novelty, religious, or food supplements only. We may list other sites that sell FDA regulated products, but we are not in any way responsible for what others sell.

Why Eat Wild Foods? ...They are not Genetically Modified!

 

In an economically distressed time where some families are finding it difficult to feed their families, wild foods can substantially supplement their requirements for cost effective foods. A lot of wild edibles can be found in your very own yard, locally, or a short trip to the country or forest.

 

If you would like to learn to identify wild edibles please click the link on wild crafting, or email for information. We can offer classes in plant identification year round here in Tennessee but spring and summer to early fall offer the most plants.

 

With constant food product recalls in the news recently, people are justifiably beginning to wonder if the food they are buying at grocery stores and restaurants is safe to eat.

 

Food safety is becoming a hot topic and a major concern in the U.S. and world wide. Some foods that we now consume on a regular basis may contain chemical additives, flavor enhancers, and are processed to the point of being tasteless with questionable nutrition value.

 

E-coli tainted produce, meat, irradiated  food, genetically manufactured (GMO's) foods are not acceptable to people who are concerned with their health and the health of their families.

 

Wild foods are not genetically engineered to produce a larger, faster maturing crop, are not chemically fertilized, nor sprayed with insecticides.  Foraging along highways and busy roadways is not recommended and we do not do it.

 

Think Real Authentic Paleolithic!

 

Thousands of years ago, primitive man had to subsist on wild plants and animals for food in order to live. Now culinary evolution is now ready to start going backwards toward a simpler era with wild foraged foods, unique tastes and better nutrition in what we eat.

 

If you crave a unique tasting and truly wild, nutritionally wholesome food to eat or want to have an unusual gourmet dinner for a special group of friends you're in the right place.

 

Wild Edible Food Can Bring Out The Caveman or Cavewoman in you.

 

If you can't find a wild edible food here that you would like, please email us as we can probably obtain it for you. We have contacts all over the world for exotics.

You will not find a shopping cart on our site for all of our products. We have limited supplies of some items and cannot furnish very large bulk orders on all items although we can offer bulk orders for certain items. Therefore, it is advised  to email us if you find a product that you are interested in ordering so that we can check availability. If you cannot find an item of interest, please email us as we can most likely locate it for you.

 

All wild food products that we supply are ethically harvested from private land holdings in the southern Appalachian Mountain area of Tennessee or North Carolina by trained wild crafters. No endangered or threatened botanicals are ever harvested.

 

Wild Pantry offers many herbs, some wild crafted, and some certified organic.  We are now offering wild carrot seeds (also known as Queen Anne's Lace) (Daucus carota subsp. carota) and tinctures that have been used in the past by women who do not want to use synthetic hormone type pills (The Pill) or other devices as a birth control method.* Some people are using the wild carrot seed products for feral cats and dogs. We suggest you check with your vet before using anything on your pets.

 

If there is an herb that you cannot find, please email us and we may be able to obtain it for you. We specialize in hard to find herbs and plants.

 

*Due to recent regulations concerning natural herbal alternatives we are re-wording our entire website. If you have questions about any of our products we can answer your questions via email. We cannot advise anything about health related questions, what herb to use for what, nor give you any advice about using herbs.

 

The ethno botanical plant products we sell are sold as a "novelty" to be used for research, spiritual reasons, education, or whatever reason you decide to use them. None of these plants are sold or intended for human consumption. None of our products have been approved by the FDA so we have to have you read these disclaimers before you purchase them. Wild Pantry will not be responsible for any consequences if you decide to ingest or use any of  these products for human consumption. You do so at your own risk.
