Inspired by the creative culinary likes of @ForagerChef Alan Bergo (highly recommend his book Flora) and the enthusiastic reviews of Rain Country Homestead on YouTube about her own Spruce Soda Wild Fermented beverage, Spru-Srup® was conceived as a next most tangible and highly marketable, hyper-local step along the journey towards a fully-fledged wild-foraged product brandship of quality, organic, sustainable, pure delights for Forest lovers like us.
Plus, having nearly two additional months of dedicated foraging seasons to fill the year makes it easier to promise year-round work to more and more Foraging Fire Mitigators as we grow and strengthen the "Circle of Spruce Healing," giving as much back to the Forest as we bring to the People.
When something doesn't readily exist that you believe should be available to One & All, take that as your sign to "GO FORage IT," and make it so!
That's our philosophy, and we're proud to be bringing not only Ancient Forest goods to Modern People, but also to be bringing the People back into the Forest, where Humans once roamed and maintained the abundant but delicate land much as an organic farmer or a rancher stewards their land today.
It's time for USAll to reunite with Our Land and with One Another, evaluating every choice we make today based on its consequences for generations to come.
Join us for a daytrip foray, or join our semi-nomadic groups of dedicated fire mitigators, who are rejuvenating themselves and the Forest, getting a fresh start doing rewarding & therapeutic wildfire risk reduction work in the Forest that surrounds our mountain towns like a vast sea surrounds all the little islands of Civilization.
