"As a child Rachel often camped, hunted, trapped, and harvested and preserved foods with her family. Through years of practice, she has learned to gather, process, produce, and preserve a large proportion of the foods, medicines, and household products that they need. Rachel is 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. She has her BS in Environmental Biology and her MS in Ecology. " from Will Forage For Food Web-Page.
