Foraging as a Way of Life 

Enhance your sense of self-sufficiency while increasing food security, protecting habitat, and connecting with the land.

​

Drawing on Mikaela's own lived experiences and her study of herbalism and ethnobotany, Foraging as a Way of Life is designed to inspire you to share the abundance and joy of wild foods while finding nourishment and connection in your local fields and forests. 

Reviews of the Book

Nancy J. Turner - Ethnobotanist & Author

"Mikaela Cannon provides information for the plants and mushrooms she forages, based on meticulous research and – most importantly – her own experiences. For her, the book reflects a compellingly personal journey, filled with the joy of “finding nourishment from the land". 
Her enthusiasm is infectious; you want to participate in her world."

I acknowledge that I work and play on the traditional unceded territories of the Secwépemc and Syilx-Okanagan Peoples. I recognize the strength and wisdom of the Peoples who have lived here for 10,000 years, and I commit to do all I can to bring truth and reconciliation into the work that I do.
