About Us

Meet Darryl Patton

Welcome to The Southern Herbalist and Stalking The Wild…! My life has been spent in a constant search to discover and unravel the mysteries of nature. As a child, I spent many hours in the woods crawling on hands and knees through brambles and briers, my imagination running wild.

Sometimes, I was an Indian hunting deer with my trusty bow and arrow. Other times, I might be a cowboy riding for days on my trusty horse, high in the mountains of Colorado. It really didn’t matter as long as I was outside playing, feeling the freedom of nature.
