About Us

EdibleWildFood.com has grown "like a weed" since launching in August 2011 and this is all due to the fabulous people who have made this possible – you!

In today’s world there’s so much divisiveness; but next to a major disaster there is one thing that brings people together – food! Increasing numbers of people worldwide are making wild food choices! I’m honoured to be part of a global network of individuals who are professional wild food educators.

In February 2012, I launched a free 3-page PDF newsletter to help people learn more about wild edibles and it includes easy-to-make home and beauty products that are inexpensive and effective. Thousands of people worldwide subscribe to Nutrition – Nature’s Way! If you want a free subscription please click here.

So who am I? My name is Karen Stephenson. I’m an expert wild food educator, chartered herbalist, author, professional writer/researcher, Acute Canine Herbalism Specialist, and a certified Master Naturalist (Lakehead University).

Bottom line, my passion is teaching people about healthy eating by integrating wild food into their daily diet, even throughout the winter months.
