WildfoMary began her adventures and learning at a very young age toddling through the woods with her beloved Grandma, soon graduating to long hours spent exploring and observing. 

She and her family were raised on the best of home produce combined with wild plants herbs and mushrooms. When not climbing trees Mary spent time in the kitchen learning skills from her mother and by age ten was churning butter baking bread and serving up dinner for the family.
