You know Foraged.Market as the place for buyers and sellers of wild-sourced and specialty foods from around the world. Right now, as the pawpaws are in their final stage of ripening, Foraged.Market is gearing up for the harvest, preparing to ship ripe pawpaws and frozen pawpaw purees to hungry folks like you all over the country and world!
They’ve also got pawpaw cookbooks, today’s guest Michael Judd’s online pawpaw course, pawpaw seedlings, and more. Check out the great pawpaw landing page they’ve built at Foraged.Market/pawpaws to start shopping and to get on the pawpaw waitlist. As soon as the Ohio harvest happens, these fruits will start shipping! Don’t wait! This is a seasonal, zero-sum game, and the pawpaw inventory won’t last long!
Remember, Foraged.Market has tons of wild foods, including wild foraged mushrooms like chanterelles, chicken of the woods, lobster mushrooms, morels, and so much more. In fact, if people are foraging it, they probably carry it.

Wild Fed
Tue, 07 Jun 2022 Michael Judd is a really cool guy. He lives, and has lived, a very inspiring life.
Today his focus is on, as he calls it, “designing for neglect.” That is, creating living food systems that function like natural ecosystems, providing long-term food security with very little input. Many of the species he works with are cultivars of plants we mostly think of as wild species, like America’s iconic and only tropical fruit, the Paw Paw. While governments are busy trying to regulate cow farts and developing carbon credits, Michael has been building systems that truly integrate people and the landscape in ways that solve real and pressing problems — combining the indigenous knowledge he gained while living in Latin America with the permaculture design he learned here in the States.
From birth to death — we mean that literally, since Michael and Daniel get into natural burial later in this episode — he’s developed and implemented systems that dramatically increase his and his family’s own sustainability in very real, relatable, and surprisingly simple ways.
While we don’t believe a utopia has or ever will exist, it’s certainly entertaining to imagine what would happen if more people started to implement similar systems in their own lives.
We’ll be headed south to work with Michael in an upcoming episode of the third season of the WildFed TV show, so stay tuned for that, and in the meantime, prepare to be inspired. Michael is showing, by example, what we can do to increase the amount of nature, food, and personal sovereignty we can have when we start building self-managing, living systems. It can be done, and you can tell from listening to Michael, it can be fun and very fulfilling too.

THE FUTURE IS NUTS! – Interview on Sustainable World Radio
Episode 162 of Sustainable World Radio: Is the future nuts? According to our guest Michael Judd, it definitely is, but in a good way! In this fun and informative interview, Michael shares his vision of a bountiful and food secure future where nut tree orchards and farms abound.
Resilient perennial crops with a multitude of ecosystem services, nut trees improve soil health and stability, provide habitat for animals, increase diversity, and offer nutrient rich food. Michael is an advocate for the Chestnut and we talk in detail about the promise that this tree holds for our nutty future.
Publicly Challenged Podcast
In this episode I talk to Michael Judd of Ecologia Design a permaculture design company started by Michael to help create edible landscapes for humans and wildlife. He has dedicated his life to learning and teaching sustainable and sound practices for the longevity of the land. In doing so he has put an emphasis on nuts and their benefits and has even started a non profit for planting chestnut trees called SilvoCulture in hopes to spread the knowledge of their benefits.

Paisajismo comestible, con Michael Judd
This is an interview with Michael Judd and Cristian Perfumo!
Note this episode is entirely in Spanish!
Audio Player
En este episodio hablamos con de paisajismo comestible con Michael Judd. Michael es permacultor y fundador de EcoLogia, jardinería comestible y ecológica. Ha publicado dos libros (por ahora sólo disponibles en espanol, aunque espero que eso cambie pronto). El primero de ellos es Edible landscapes with a permaculture twist (Paisajismo comestible con un toque de permacultura). El segundo, For the love of paw paws (Por amor a las paw paws).
Algunas de las cosas que le pregunto a Michael son las siguientes:
¿Cómo terminó dedicándose al paisajismo comestible y dónde lo aprendió?
¿Qué es un jardín comestible?
¿Puede ser igual de bonito un jardín con plantas comestibles que uno como plantas ornamentales?
¿Se suelen incorporar otras plantas que no sean comestibles? Por ejemplo flores o fijadoras de nitrógeno.
Si alguien con un jardín tradicional lleno de plantas ornamentales quiere dar un primer paso hacia el jardín comestible, ¿cuál sería ese primer paso?
¿Lleva más trabajo mantener un jardín comestible que uno ornamental?
¿Qué cantidad de comida puede uno obtener de un jardín, digamos, de 100 metros cuadrados?
Un recurso interesante que menciona Michael sobre jardines comestibles (además de sus propios libros) es el trabajo de Roselind Creasey, a quien, por cierto, pertenece la fotografía que ilustra este episodio.
