Spices, Seasonings, Herbs

A Cajun classic, this powder is traditionally used as a thickener in gumbo!! When down in Eminence, MO for a camping trip, I harvested lots of sassafras namely for the root. Instead of letting the leaves go to waste, I took them home, washed/dried them, & blended it into a powder.

Disregard the okra & try this filé instead!!

Vinegar

Sweet, rich, & tangy, this balsamic vinegar is my tastiest supplement!! Either take it straight like the man you are, or mix it with some icy water for a refreshing & healthy beverage!! Good for immune system support.

Elderberry Sweet Vinegar

Seeds

Looking for native trees that are both useful & important to wildlife?

If so, these seeds will be a great fit in your yard (or local neck of the woods)!! Persimmons are the last fruit of the year that deer, squirrels, robins, bluejays, & you can access before winter hits, making persimmon groves optimal spots for both hunting, wildlife watching, & gathering for any recipe that calls for pumpkin.

Baked Goods

Like a sweet pumpkin/apricot cookie, but better!!

I'm going to experiment here & have these available online. It's a bit pricey, but that's to cover for free shipping.

Each cookie is ~2 ounces.

Syrup

Sourced from silver maple trees in Blue Springs & Independence, this syrup is honestly the best I've ever had. With notes of butter & vanilla, this rich maple syrup is sure to please your palate!! 1 taste and you'll be eagerly anticipating February [maple season for Missouri] with me.

Yes, the price is a bit high for maple syrup, but this isn't the cheap stuff at grocery stores, bought from corporations that add fillers such as plain sugar. This is 100% pure & genuine syrup tapped exclusively from silver maples!!

I wanted to save this for locals, but they're just not buying, so I'm now selling them to you!!

A sweet, tasty immune system boost combined with blackberries makes a delectable medicine!!

Snacks

Similar to its earlier fall counterpart (pawpaw), this fudge is a simple yet decadent recipe!! Imagine a sweet, creamy pumpkin melting in your mouth with every bite. This fudge makes a perfect late fall treat!!

Tired of fudge that's both too sweet and full of chemical garbage? Great news: for the 1st time in KCMO (that I know of), there is a completely organic fudge here for you to access!! No more seed oil white baking chips or chemical-laden marshmallow creme from the grocery store that makes even homemade fudge subpar. THIS wild native persimmon fudge, made with homemade white chocolate (using REAL cocoa butter) and homemade marshmallow fluff, will demonstrate that candy can be healthy AND taste delicious!!

*If you want free shipping for seeds only, send me a message.*

Hand-picked near Kansas City, MO, these tiny seeds can produce big results!! Given just how many seeds I throw out every year, I figured "why not sell them for a cheap price?"

While only 1/8 of a teaspoon, there are around 160 seeds (less than a nickel per seed), which is more than enough for testing multiple germination methods. Once they start, you just need to wait a few years for those delicious supplements to manifest right in your yard!!

For a limited time, I'm offering "The Glob" which is both seed & flesh that's leftover from making elderberry vinegar. You'll get a tablespoon for $8, which is a steal, if you ask me.

Though this item is not from the wild, it's still a great way to grow natural sponges!! I bought a few seeds from Burpee at Menards, then grew 2 lovely loofah gourds that were full of seeds. Now, I would like to share some of these seeds with you!!

I'll weigh out 2 grams or 4 grams, depending on the order.

Loofah Seeds

This is unlike any grape jelly you've tasted from a grocery store or your local diner. Wild grapes are small, but they pack a strong, sour punch!! With merely grapes, water, sugar, & pectin, I create an amazing tangy jelly that will have you eagerly waiting for next fall when I make more!!

Jar size is 1/2 pint.

Wild Grape Jelly

1 lb

From these seeds come pawpaws that I fell in love with at 1st bite in 2018 when I moved to Blue Springs, MO!!

Not only do I taste every pawpaw I process, separating the good from the bad, but I save the good seeds and discard the bad, which means these seeds have a higher chance of producing delicious pawpaws!!

I understand that seed germination can be hit or miss. I personally threw out hundreds of seeds in my backyard, yet I only have a couple dozen; which is why I'm quite generous with my pricing. So please, don't shy away from this great growing opportunity!!

Update February 2025: I still have plenty of seeds, but I'm unsure exactly how many. I assume I have 100 more, but if I don't & I run out before you order, I will give a full refund & this product will be taken down. I'll republish in September when pawpaw season starts again.

Update: I now see why they're pricey. I mistakenly sold dry seeds, which has an almost 0% germination rate. Luckily, there were seeds I neglected that are actually viable!! I have over 100 seeds in a pot filled with moist potting mix. When damp, pawpaw seeds have ~95% germination rate. I actually have at least 1 that's already started to sprout!!

Missouri Pawpaw Seeds

Bulk (40)

Hand-picked from Grain Valley, MO and meticulously stripped of pulp, these seeds come from fruit-laden wild plum trees that provided me with delicious trail-side snacks and enough pulp to make several jars of tasty jam!!

Although they're over a year old, they should still be viable.

My best seller at nearly every fall festival, this flavorful jam is like autumn in a jar!! Some say it's akin to apple butter, but I say it has its own wonderful flavor. Either way, you can't go wrong with creamy fruit-filled jam!!

Update 10/12: Good news, I got plenty left!! If you order multiple, you'll get 1 of them from a batch where I forgot the vanilla. The difference is subtle, but there (sharper & fruitier). If you don't want an "FV", let me know when you order. The only 2 pints I have left are FV.

Also, if you send me your email address in Messages (letters spaced out to avoid the censors), you can get 10% off!! I don't send emails, but I will add you to my customer list so I won't have to pay the 10% Foraged fee, then I'll pass the savings to you!!
