Waiting for spring is like waiting for an event that you know is coming every year but its a well kept secret as to when it will emerge. You have to watch for the little signs that get progressively more noticeable. The birds start to return and build nests, the snow starts to melt, the sun hangs around in the sky longer and a bit higher, and then one day spring has arrived.  It is one of our favorite times of year because of the spring foraging of mushrooms and what we call leeks.  Apparently some call them ramps and others call them wild garlic? What do you call them?

Up here leeks are really abundant, we have been where the entire floor of the woods was carpeted in leeks up and down many hills.  But In some places of the country and our state leeks are not as abundant and need to be harvested a little more carefully.  I do still move around as I harvest so I take a few here and there rather than picking a spot clean. Another way to harvest sustainably is to take the greens and leave the root behind. As you would think, they have a lot of nutritional benefits to them, both the greens and the bulb are edible.

One of our favorite things to do with leeks is saute and add to dishes.  I usually harvest enough to last a while by freezing.  This year however, I decided to dehydrate and make them into a wild leek powder.  It was a simple process of washing, chopping, grinding (Ninja), drying (Excalibur & drying mats), and then grinding again.  I will probably make some butter, infused oil and salt as well.

Doodads and Gadgets on the Homestead…aka Products I Love

RewilderLife Posted on October 21, 2022 by Rachel JamisonOctober 25, 2022

Some of these products are not primitive or whatever description you may want to use.  They are however products I use daily in my life.  I’ve said before we straddle this life of primitive, off grid, Rewilder Life and modern living. Well one of the things we do have is a freezer and internet with wifi. We have also had a freezer fail and leave us with a bunch of bad food.  So we have decided to use a wifi/bluetooth temperature and humidity thermometer.  You could actually use it anywhere in your home to check on things, this one will also work for a freezer.  It connects to your phone and I get updates anywhere I have a cellphone signal. It also has alarms where I can set the temperature or humidity at a specific degree or percent and it will tell me if something is having issues.  So, below is a link to the device we use and like.

The Excalibur Food Dehydrator is one that is loved by many homesteaders, I am one of those!  I have two!  I prefer gadgets with no digital timers or thermometers because they fail.  A dial has far less places to fail, simplicity is not overrated when it comes to failure and repairs for us. You can always purchase a timer to plug it into if you wish.   The dehydrator is on sale currently and has a coupon, I have no idea how long this sale will last.
