Sunny Savage, a wild foods expert who got her big break on YouTube, is the host and associate producer of Veria TV’s hit show, Hot on the Trail with Sunny Savage. In each episode Sunny takes her viewers on foraging adventures to unexpected places – from swamps and brushlands to tropical jungles – to uncover hidden culinary treasures that surprise and delight the palate. For over 30 years Sunny has traveled the globe, learning the secrets of wild plants from the people who eat them.

Shot in breathtaking locations, Sunny’s show is as much an exploration of earth’s beautiful and varied landscapes, as it is a pursuit of incredible edibles in the most unlikely places. On a practical level, every episode offers viewers insight into the uses of wild botanicals, some of which they may have never tried – or even heard of!

Sunny has a master’s degree in nutrition education with a focus on the antioxidants found in wild greens. She’s stayed true to her roots by teaching field botany, traditional dietary practices and yoga on the White Earth Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota. And recently Sunny has committed to a personal challenge directly aligned with her show’s vision: for one year, she will cook and eat only foods grown within 250 miles of her home.

Sunny lives on the Hawaiian island of Maui with her husband and their six-year-old son. In the next year, Sunny and family will embark on an epic five-year ocean voyage, circumnavigating the globe on an eco-friendly sailboat. They plan to document their adventure on film, highlighting the skills we will need to thrive in the future.
