Wilder Magazine
Issue V
Wilder Winter 2013 explores the deep freeze with a trip to Iceland to see what survives the polar clime and coastal Maine to see the cold, hard realities of oyster farming. Chef Magnus Nilsson shows us the hiemal pleasures of the Swedish landscape and Alaskan native and songstress Kate Earl teaches us how properly to filet a salmon. We have plenty of deep reading for those long winter nights with a brief  history of tree-hugging and an interview with NY Times columnist Mark Bittman. We experience a mid-winter thaw with a visit to Vietnam to learn about international farm to table cuisine. Along the way, we delve into the mythology of the persimmon and figure out why everyone should love the praying mantis. We'll help beginners get into vermiculture, share growing tips for every region and much, much more.

Issue IV
The 2012 Fall issue of Wilder Quarterly celebrates the bounty of fall with a trip to Finland to forage for mushrooms and wild edibles. We travel to Mexico City’s Butterfly Biosphere––a UNESCO World Heritage Site––and peek an exclusive view Kyoto’s majestic Moss Temple. A visit to James Beard award winner Chef Sean Brock schools us on the doctrine of good dirt and the original Catwoman Julie Newmar shows us how her garden grows. Spooky tales of the forest come to life as we search for the mythic will-o-the-wisp and our vision gets crystalized in the off-limits American Museum of Natural History’s geodes vault. To top it off, we’ll learn the virtues of aquaponics, get lessons in seed saving and try the fine art of ice wine. Bounty, indeed.
