Meet Your Teachers

Kypriana “Lala” Daniels has been a foraging student for over 10 years and her daughter, Shivani has been foraging since birth. Kypriana was inspired to become an author when her family moved to the Appalachian Foothills of Frederick, MD. As they learned how to forage and wildcraft together, they made up stories to teach, inspire and remember all the wisdom and interconnectedness of the local ecology! Now the family is happy to share these educational stories with the world!
