Most people walk right past this.

But 150 years ago, it kept people alive.

Miner’s Lettuce — one of the first wild greens to emerge after winter — was eaten by gold miners to prevent scurvy when fresh food was hard to come by.

Long before that, it was a staple for Indigenous communities who understood exactly what the land provides, and when.

Now it’s growing here at Shadow Birch.

Tender. Mild. Almost buttery.
Best eaten fresh — straight from the field.

This is what early spring actually tastes like.



We’ll have small harvests available for those who want to try something most people have never even heard of.
