Meet the Business Owner

Rebecca L.

Business Owner

I am that urban forager and herbalist you may have seen on the national TV shows «Brew Dogs» on Esquire Network and «Dark Rye» on Pivot Network; as well as on OPB TV in Oregon, public radio stations in Oregon and Washington, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, Portland Monthly magazine, Orion magazine, Utne Reader, The Oregonian, and many other outlets.

I’m also the contributor of the Pacific Northwest plants for the wonderful field guide that is Steve Brill’s wonderful «Wild Edibles» iPhone/​Android app.

And, I’m the urban foraging blogger at First​Ways​.com and author of the book «Dandelion Hunter: Foraging the Urban Wilderness,» (March 2013, Globe Pequot Press), which Publishers Weekly called «the funniest herbal adventure you’ll ever read.»
