Rachel Mifsud --- Founder (and everything else)
“I hate going to the store. I do my grocery shopping in the woods.”
As a child, I often camped, hunted, trapped, and harvested and preserved foods with my family. Through years of practice, I have learned to gather, process, produce, and preserve a large proportion of the foods, medicines, and household products that I need. I am a lifelong student of the environment and primitive skills, with a special interest in understanding why nature creates those characteristics that give plants and animals their unique and useful qualities. I have my BS in Environmental Biology and my MS in Ecology. I have worked as a field biologist and ecologist throughout the Eastern U.S., and am a Biology lecturer at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I have been teaching for over 25 years and have spent considerable time working with students in the classroom, in the woods, and online.
