Non-Timber Forest Product Directory 2009-2010

Your guide to local businesses within New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island that use forest resources to produce tasty foods, natural products, unique crafts and woodwork, as well as offer one-of-a-kind ecotourism opportunities. This directory also features recipes, photos, articles and resources related to NTFPs. Welcome to Atlantic Canada and Maine’s first-ever directory of non-timber forest product (NTFP) businesses and organizations! NTFPs are generally defined as forest plant, tree and mushroom resources other than timber. They include unprocessed resources like fiddleheads and fir pitch as well as value-added products like bent willow furniture and blueberry jam, and finally, they also include ecotourism opportunities like bird-watching tours.

NTFPs have been picked and produced by Aboriginals long before the arrival of European settlers to North America. Through the years, NTFPs have provided economical, cultural and spiritual benefits to producers and consumers alike.

“Buying locally” is a growing trend and it makes sense to support your neighbourhood businesses by buying products that are produced mere kilometres away instead of whole continents away. The purpose of this directory is to showcase the multitude of NTFPs being produced in our own backyards, be they decorative, edible, health-promoting other. We also want to encourage linkages between growers and producers who may be able to share resources and expertise.

The From Our Atlantic Woods directory is also available at www.fromouratlanticwoods.com. You can easily search for what you are seeking by province/state, county and product category. Although Maine is not included in this printed version, it has listings online.

From Our Woods To Yours: ‘Wild’ Goes National Back in August 2005 when the first ‘Buy BCwild’ directory of non-timber forest products from the wilds of British Columbia was still hot off the press, we dreamt of the day when a directory focused on these remarkable and diverse products would stretch from coast to coast to coast. Four editions and almost 100,000 Buy BCwild directories later, an important step has been taken in realizing this pan-Canadian vision with the launch of From Our Atlantic Woods. The Atlantic Woods team has done a remarkable job of making the NTFP directory concept their own with unique products from Atlantic forests and farms. With a 5th annual edition due out in June 2009, Buy BCwild has proven itself to be an important tool for educating the public, helping to bring the sector together, and connecting consumers to producers. We know that the hard work of the people at INFOR Inc. and their partners across Atlantic Canada and Maine will pay off with the same benefits to producers. The directories from east and west also contribute to strengthening a growing national network focused on the sustainable use and management of these often overlooked but important resources. Congratulations to the Atlantic Woods team!

25 From Our Atlantic Woods A Recipe from the Maritime’s Own Chef Michael Smith Since time immortal we’ve been drawn to the forests around us. The simple pleasure of immersing ourselves in the quiet shadows of the woods has always been inspired by the flavours we found there. Today we’re blessed with a tradition of unique wild ingredients, each with marketable values that transcend consumer demand for organic, local and fresh. As a chef I’m proud that our collective Atlantic cuisine continues to embrace not just our maritime and agricultural roots but the treasures of our forests.

Wild Chanterelle Mushroom Soup Serves 4

Ingredients 4 tablespoons butter 2 pounds of chanterelle mushrooms, sliced, the wilder the better 1 large chopped onion 1/4 cup of sherry, Marsala, Madeira or any red wine 1/4 cup of flour 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme a bay leaf 4 cups of chicken, beef or vegetable stock 1 cup of heavy cream or sour cream salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon of fresh or dry tarragon a bunch of flat leaf parsley

FOAW has no control over the information on websites listed in this publication. As well, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided to us by the non-timber forest product (NTFP) businesses themselves.

Extra care should be taken before coming into contact with any wild plants (including fungi). Any individual who consumes or comes into contact with wild plants does so at their own risk. FOAW, its partners or sponsors cannot be held responsible for any adverse reactions caused by consuming, touching, smelling or using wild resources or products mentioned in this directory. If you are not sure you can positively identify a wild plant, do not pick it. We strongly advocate the use of plant identification guides and courses. Remember, “natural” does not necessarily mean “safe”. While some parts of a plant may be edible, other parts of the same plant may be poisonous. Furthermore, some parts of a plant may only be edible after having been cooked for a minimum length of time or prepared in a certain manner. Finally, even if a plant is classified as safe, you may have a high sensitivity to it as some plants are highly allergenic. Caution is key in the woods.
