Angus Hughes
Bluebird Forest Garden
Angus is an Idaho-born mountain man who has always loved good food. He has been gardening or foraging one way or another most of his life. Angus lives in the costal disjunct rain-forest of northern Idaho where he has a small garden and orchard on his forested property. He is often found roaming the woods, finding mushrooms or berries and teaches wildcrafting as well. Angus has been involved in non-profits and cooperatives for several years and currently serves on the Snake River Seed Cooperative Board of Directors. He likes to build with natural building materials and old-fashioned techniques and plays bluegrass guitar in his spare time. Angus teaches sustainable living ways through the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms program, and is trying to form a land-based intentional community in his neighborhood. On his website, Bluebird Forest Garden Angus has described over one hundred native edible plants that he has found in the Clearwater River region.
