Welcome to the seventy first edition of Wildcrafting Wednesday!
Wildcrafting Wednesday is hosted by:
- Sharon @ Woodwife’s Journal,
- Chris @ Joybilee Farm,
- Lisa @ The Self-Sufficient HomeAcre,
- and me! 🙂
While traditional wildcrafting refers to gathering herbs and plants in the wild to use for food and medicine, Wildcrafting Wednesday is a weekly blog hop for sharing self-sufficiency and homesteading tips, tried and true home-remedies, and your favorite herbal uses.
It’s a place to gather information on ways to incorporate old fashioned wisdom in our day-to-day life.
It is anything and everything herbal – from crafts to cleaning to tinctures to cooking.
It is remedies and natural cures made at home from natural ingredients.
It is self-sufficient living, homesteading, and back-to-basics tips to save food, money, and resources.
If it involves herbs or traditional methods of homemaking and home healing then we want to read about it!
In other words, Wildcrafting Wednesday is a “one stop shop” for the past weeks best tips and simple steps to become more healthy and more self-reliant! Please join us! 🙂

Thank you to every one of our bloggers who linked up and to all of our readers for helping us pick our featured posts!
Guidelines for Participation:
1. Please link up your blog post using the Linky widget below. If you are posting a recipe, only real food recipes are permitted please. This means no processed food ingredients!
2. Please link the URL of your actual blog post and not your blogs home page. That allows future readers who find this post and go to your link to be able to find what they’re looking for.
3. Please place a link back to this post. That way your readers can benefit from all the ideas too. This also helps out the other participants who are hoping to get more traffic to their blogs. If you’re new to blogging here’s what you do: Copy the URL of Wildcrafting Wednesday from your browser address bar. Then edit your post by adding something like, “This post was shared on Wildcrafting Wednesday” at the end of your post. Then highlight “Wildcrafting Wednesday”, click the “link” button on your blogging tool bar, and paste the URL into that line. That’s it!
4. Please only link posts that fit the blog hop description. Old and archived posts are welcome as long as you post a link back as described above. Please don’t link to giveaways or promotions for affiliates or sponsors. That keeps our links valuable in the future since a link to a giveaway three months old isn’t going to be worth browsing in three months time, but a link to an herbal tip will be.
5. Please leave a comment. 🙂
6. And bloggers, please check out the other posts and leave a comment for them too. 🙂 I know that we would all love to hear from each other. 🙂

Many thanks for hosting
Good luck on your new site Katherine, I’m sure you’ll be GREAT! I love the header colors that you’ve chosen too! 🙂
I’m really glad you joined us this week on Wildcrafting Wednesday! 🙂
I do have some concerns with your 7 Day Real Food Diet Plan recommendations though. There doesn’t seem to be enough healthy fats – you are recommending coconut oil (good) but you also recommend vegan spread instead of butter when butter is very nutritious (especially raw butter made from grass fed cows), you’re recommending boullion cubes which are highly overprocessed and way too high in refined white salt, and you’re also recommending tofu which is typically made with GMO soy.
I love that you’re recommending that we avoid white sugar, white flour, and chemical additives, but raw milk from grass-fed cows is incredibly nutritious and good for you. It has every vitamin, mineral, and amino acid necessary for good health. You could live on raw milk from grass fed cows and nothing else if you had to and be extremely healthy.
It appears we have a few differences in our definitions of “healthy, nutrient-dense foods.” 🙂
