The first wild foods of spring are almost here 🌿

Hi Reader

Hi Friend,

One of my favorite things about spring isn’t just the garden waking up…

It’s the wild foods that show up before anything else is ready.​

​

Every year, right about this time, the woods and yard begin offering their first gifts:

• tender dandelion greens
• ramps
• the first edible plants of the season

These early greens have been gathered for generations because they’re some of the first fresh foods after a long winter. Many wild greens like nettles, ramps, and dandelions appear in early spring and are commonly used in soups, sautés, salads, and pestos.

And the best part?

They’re free food growing right outside your door.

On the homestead we love using these early greens in simple recipes—sautéed, mixed into eggs, or added to soups. They bring fresh flavor right when we’re all craving something green again.

I put together a post sharing:

If you’ve never tried foraging for spring greens before, this might be the year to start.

God has a way of providing food exactly when we need it—sometimes growing quietly under last year’s leaves.

Let me know if you’ve ever cooked with spring foraged greens!
