Tom Garstang Wikipedia
He dropped out of high school early to pursue his wanderlust, working various trade and service jobs while travelling, riding freight trains, and attending old-time music festivals on the east coast. Later, he pursued a career in fine leatherwork and now works as a Prescribed Fire Practitioner and regenerative agriculturalist on his extended family’s farm in Earlysville, Virginia, bridging the gap between farming and natural ecosystems.
Tom began hunting the rich game that calls Virginia home as a young man, a passion that would soon overwhelm him. Whitetail, Wild Turkey, Squirrels, Rabbits, Raccoons, Catfish, Dove, Duck, wild flora, and elusive mushrooms began taking up all his free time.
The history, legend, and lore surrounding these Appalachian food staples, as well as the cunning ways in which the old-timers acquired them, piqued his interest, filling a vacuum left by his father’s remoteness from the developing world throughout his upbringing overseas.
