⟡  Hand picked harvest  ⟡

"...Although most of the local wildlife and fauna has begun their hibernation for the season, this cold has also given growth to some fresh seasonal herbs, berries, and foliage that flourish in this weather! They're not only beautiful, but delightful and delicious to both local fauna and fox kind! It's never been a better time to pick some wild berries and herbs than now during this special time of year!"

While there are not too many discovered edible flora at this time, scarfoxes know of two well used plants that only flourish during this time of year! The Scillamint plant is a hearty cold loving plant thats blossoms and leaves retain a strong minty flavor! Commonly used to make teas, or adding a minty bite to ones cooking excursions, this plant is widely used in seasonal treats! It's also been noted to affect those with sleep problems, by calming ones mind before falling asleep.

Scillamint Plant

Another plant found in this season is the Holly-hosta, a plant that endures and thrives through the entire year that retains large beautiful leaves, but only bears delicious fruits and blooms in the winter! the berries are commonly sought after by wildlife who live among the cold climates, as it makes a wonderful food source, as well as being a delicious filling for pies! its tart, but has its delicate aromatic flavor enhanced by sugar when cooked into a filling or jam! the petals are used to make herbal green teas when dried, or are filled with a chocolate mouse and eaten fresh!
