Rachel Newman

Rachel is an avid naturalist and woods explorer who has a particular love for plant identification and foraging. She also enjoys birding, tracking, crafting with natural materials, and sharing awesome sit spot stories!

Rachel has always been happiest outside climbing trees, watching animals, and eating wild food. She attended the Primitive Pursuits homeschool program for almost four years as a teenager and loved every minute spent learning new skills with this incredible community.

Rachel currently lives on 111 acres of beautiful land in Groton, NY, where she helps out on her family’s organic vegetable farm.
