1. Forage with Confidence
Learn to identify and harvest wild foods safely, with tips for mushrooms, plants, and fish unique to the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
Never second-guess what you’re bringing home again.
2. Cook Adventurously
Transform wild meats like venison, elk, or grouse, along with foraged greens, mushrooms, and fruits into gourmet meals over the fire or in your kitchen.
Think steaming bowls of wild pho, cast iron roasts, and sweet treats enriched by wild berries.
3. Create Wild Remedies
Go beyond the plate by crafting natural remedies like herbal salves and soothing teas from everyday plants like elderberries, calendula, or purple dead nettle.
Your foraged finds become tools for healing, self-sufficiency, and thriving, like the anti-itch salve featured in the book.

Meet the Woman Behind Eat off the Land
I’m Sharon Trammell, an author, outdoor writer, and the creator of Forage & Thrive — a new brand and book series dedicated to helping people connect with nature through foraging, wild cooking, and sustainable living.
As a freelance outdoor writer, my work has been featured in magazines like Fur-Fish-Game, Salmon Trout Steelheader, and has an upcoming feature in Backwoods Survival Guide.
My first book, Becoming Strength, shared my personal journey from surviving to thriving. Now, through Eat Off the Land and the Forage & Thrive series, I teach others how to bring that same transformation into their lives using wild food and self-sufficiency.
As a NOWA award-winning author, I bring both passion and experience to every page, blending storytelling with hands-on skills to help readers live more intentionally and deeply connected to the land.
What Early Readers are Saying
“Fishing has always been my favorite way to spend a weekend, but I never knew what to do with my catch beyond the basics. Sharon’s smoked steelhead dip and her wild pico de gallo recipe completely changed my game. Now, every fishing trip ends with a feast that feels like a true celebration of the outdoors."
--Casey L, angler and home cook, Portland, OR
“I’ve been buying expensive mushroom coffee for years because of the health benefits, but I never thought I could actually make it myself. Sharon’s Reishi harvesting tips and coffee recipe was simple, clear, and so empowering — plus, it tastes even better than the store-bought blends. Now I’m saving money and sipping something I crafted myself from wild ingredients.”
--Dana S, Wellness Enthusiast, Bend OR
