Thanks to @hifarmersmarkets for the recent spotlight on their website. You’ll find my recipe for Wild Root Beer there, and take a peek at all of the other delectable recipes highlighting local ingredients as well! Check stories for a batch of Wild Root Beer I have brewing today...see all those glorious fizzy bubbles? This is what Day 3 of the #wildyeast of #piperauritum fermentation looks like, and I’ll be bottling it tonight.

I wish the veils could be lifted enough for people

I wish the veils could be lifted enough for people to live in “love & light” right now at this time in an embodied way. Until then #FuckTrump and #impeachment for this DEMON and removal of all 147 Republicans who fed the lies. White supremacists are our number one threat...#domesticterrorists - if you are having a hard time wading through who’s right and who’s wrong, no worries. It’s called the Nazi litmus test...if the people in your group are wearing tshirts with Nazi references, if people are applauding when a speaker is referring to things Hitler got right...you’re on the wrong side! We all have some of it wrong, so much is yet to be revealed, but do not be on the wrong side of this. Please contact the FBI (fbi.gov/tips) if you know anyone planning to attend an insurrection/protest/mob in the coming weeks with intent to harm. You will know when the line has been crossed, so please don’t let the moment pass or you will be complicit and your consciousness will never forget. We can heal, we can unite, but the head of this motherfucking demon must be brought into the light of #justice

New ‘chocolates with natural Ii hing java plum’ recipe in the Savage Kitchen app! Surprisingly simple, damn delicious, and really they could be made with all kinds of wild ingredients. Maybe tropical almonds? Koster’s curse berries? kiawe-smoked salt? mmmm, so many possibilities. We’ll be discussing these plants and more as potentials to include in the upcoming version of the app. Send me a DM with your email address and which call you want to be on, and I’ll send u the zoom link.

What wild foods are you burning to know more about

What wild foods are you burning to know more about? What additional plants would you like to see covered in the Savage Kitchen app? What format is best for you? I've created a short 9-question survey to gather answers to these questions, link in bio. I would be so grateful if you might take a moment to give feedback so that I can create the most potent information, delivered in the way you want, aligned with your interests. Better for you, better for me!

Plant in photo is spider wisp (Cleome gynandra), a fun wild edible originating from Africa but who now inhabits tropical and sub-tropical locations around the globe. It's edible greens, flowers, and seeds can be found now as the land drinks in the winter rains. Want to know more info about spider wisp? If you click the link in my bio it will bring you to my blog, where a write-up on spider wisp is the post just before the wild food survey!

Mele Kalikimaka! A wild gift for you...Natural Li Hing Java Plum recipe just uploaded in the Savage Kitchen app. After kiawe tea, this is the most widely loved recipe I make, especially for those who might not be inclined to try or like wild foods. Inspired by @gabecooks and the elder at the Wailuku Post Office who told stories about preserving and eating Java Plum "back in the day".

Have you tried the ginger snap cookie recipe in the Savage Kitchen app? Made with powdered butterfly ginger rhizome this recipe is absolute perfection and great for the Holydays. I also made snickerdoodles with 3 adaptogenic herbs, cause get em how you can.

And, just pulled these homemade ornaments out this morning. Fun for anyone to grow crystals, but homeschooling parents this is so much fun! Super simple by making a borax solution, just type up “borax ornaments kiwi” on the internet for instructions. The light didn’t quite catch just how stunning they really are. 🎄🍄❄️

Plant Medicine is a powerful tool we have for evol

Plant Medicine is a powerful tool we have for evolving our consciousness, and yet personally I found myself in polarity with it and on a long journey of addiction. I have found it very helpful to be the boss of my relationship with cannabis, and am offering what I've learned along the way, as well as looking forward to what others have learned. If this speaks to your soul, then I invite you to join in a supportive conversation this coming Tuesday via Zoom.

Wild roots grounding me as we journey through the Sixth Mass Extinction on our planet. Stripping away what has come before to make way for what all us earth embodied folks know - new life comes from the compost. Will these kāhili roots become the foundation of emergent ecosystems? I don’t know, but I trust in the wisdom of a divine intelligence, what our souls already know.

We don't need revolutionaries, we need solutionari

We don't need revolutionaries, we need solutionaries." - Alixa Garcia

Over 160 solutionaries stepped up to participate in the Eat Local Maui Challenge, that's over 160 people who know that if we want to change something we have to be that change and it's been an honor to walk alongside my fellow participants. I hope you all see the delicious opportunities ahead!

This was my 30th straight day of eating 💯percent local and the day was marked by my first pigeon pea harvest in the garden. I had hoped they'd come in a bit earlier for the challenge, but we go with the seasonal flow. Am rejoicing in no longer having to write down everything I eat, along with photos and videos and social media, as that was far more time consuming than actually eating local!
