It’s nettle season!

Our family absolutely love foraging and nettle is the first treasurer in spring to forage.

We use stinging nettle in many different ways:
Nettle soup
Feed for chickens
We make fertilizer water for the garden
Tea
We make dehydrated boost powder for smoothies

What are your favorite way to use stinging nettle and what other things do you forage?
