“It’s not enough to talk about wellness in pretty language and beautiful pictures. We must make it real, make it reachable, make it something that lifts people up — all people.” - Forage and Gather
Dear Friends,
By now you know that I’m writing my newest book Forage and Gather right here on Substack.
Forage & Gather is being shared, chapter by chapter, with my monthly paid subscribers here. Each chapter is a small gathering — a quiet moment in the garden, a warm bowl of healing soup, a story shared in the glow of the stillroom.
If you would like to receive these full chapters — to walk this journey more deeply, to gather the recipes, the teachings, and the quiet wisdom I am weaving into this book — I invite you to become a paid subscriber. You can even begin with a seven-day free trial, so you can explore without any pressure, but even if you choose to stay a free subscriber, please know that you are still part of this gathering. I will continue sharing free weekly (sometimes more!) posts filled with seasonal insights, recipes, and reflections. Here’s the link to the first of the Forage and Gather posts that you can read a little bit of before the paywall hits. Forage and Gather
Forage & Gather is not just a book. It is a gathering. A place where wisdom, stories, and sacred nourishment meet. A place where we can remember what it means to live well, to root ourselves in the quiet beauty of a life tended with care.
This book will be a journey of remembering. Remembering how to nourish ourselves with real, living food. Remembering how to root our lives in nature, in rhythm, in ritual. Remembering that wellness is not a luxury — it is a birthright.
But it is also a call. A call to see wellness as something that belongs to all of us — not just to those who can afford it, not just to those who know where to look.
I’m writing this book because I believe we need a different kind of conversation about health. A conversation that blends the best of herbal wisdom and functional nutrition, that honors the power of the earth and the insights of science. A conversation that is not about selling a product, but about creating a life.
In these pages, you will find stories of healing and resilience, practical recipes, sacred rituals, and the quiet magic of a life well-tended. You will learn how to strengthen your body with whole foods, soothe your spirit with gentle herbs, and bring balance to your days through mindful living.
But most of all, you will find connection — to the earth, to the table, and to yourself.
You are always welcome here.
And there is so much beauty to come.
With love,
Beth
