MAHA News [11.7] – Foraging Freedom: Medicinal Weeds, Homesteading & Healing Naturally

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince welcome Michelle McAninch of Tamarac Garden for a masterclass in practical homesteading and herbal medicine. Broadcasting from GART Cocoa Beach, the trio dives into the world of natural healing, from identifying wild herbs like yarrow and mullein to using everyday “weeds” as powerful remedies. Michelle shares stories of foraging in North Idaho, teaching “Eat Your Way Through the Forest” classes, and creating tinctures and teas for first aid, fever, and pain relief. The conversation expands to sustainable living, gardening in small spaces, raising chickens, freeze-drying eggs, and the surprising benefits of weeds most people spray to kill. They explore container gardening, aquaponics, and the importance of reconnecting to the land, even in suburban settings. With humor, hope, and real-life tips, this episode inspires listeners to reclaim self-reliance and rediscover the pharmacy growing right outside their doors.
