5.0 out of 5 stars Great information and well organized!

I love the idea of using local, common found edibles for food and medicine. Getting out into nature and finding them myself seems so fulfilling for myself and my family but also intimidating. How do I tell what is safe and edible? So, when I got the opportunity to read WILD EDIBLE PLANTS IN THE MID ATLANTIC REGION, I was excited.

The information in this book is organized neatly into parts all clearly labeled so I can easily find what I need and want to explore at that time, for instance: Fruits and Shrubs, Herbs and Greens, Trees and Nuts, and Mushrooms and Fungi. I can just look up the type of plant I want to explore and find the ones in my area. There's simple drawings for identification but there's also a place to scan for full colored pictures. Each plant is identified with information on harvesting, locating, preparing, caution and look alikes, pet toxicity, and health benefits.

There's an excellent section in the front about poisonous and look alike plants that I felt was really important to read. There's another section about testing unknown plants that would be useful if ever in a survival situation. But I really liked information about the regions, what's allowed in the state parks, and lists of local foraging groups.

The author writes simply and to the point in an easy to follow, yet engaging manner. I love all the useful information on foraging and edibles. And as an added bonus, there are some really delicious looking recipes to try with the wonderful food I find!

I'm really happy to have found this book and am looking forward to many foraging adventures ahead of me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide for those considering foraging.

The author demonstrates several reasons why one might and should consider foraging. The zones included in the book also come with a state by state section, where you can reach out to local foraging groups for more information.

Not only is there many of the most common edibles, she also includes whether Fido can ingest as well, and hand drawn pictures of each plant discussed. A lot of great information, in one handy guide.

The latter section of the book includes some recipes on how to prepare some of the edibles you have foraged. I'm looking forward to making the Shagbark syrup, as we have both those and maples on our lot here in Tennessee. Even though the book is not zoned for my area (I'm a little more South) many of the same plants are in my area.

I found this guide very useful, and am checking the wild berry briars out back to see if any fall in the ones listed. Also included was the common sense ways of testing, but as she stated, bring someone that knows and always double check.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of useful info!

Reading this book has brought back memories of my childhood in Pennsylvania. I now live in an area where pawpaws don't grow, unfortunately. The author did a good job of picking out plants that represent the area!

I like the fact that she included some recipes. Sometimes it's easy to identify and pick a plant but hard to figure out what to do with it!

I was most surprised by the pet section with each plant. Although I've foraged a lot and read a lot of books on foraging, I can't think of any other book that includes the toxicity or safety of the plants for pets. Definitely would recommend this book to a pet owner who forages, even if not living in the Mid-Atlantic states.

A fair amount of the info and plant profiles in this book can be useful even to someone who doesn't live in the Mid-Atlantic States.

I don’t have much knowledge of or experience with foraging, but it’s something I’ve been interested in for a while. I found this book to be a great introduction with just the right amount of information. It’s well-organized and concise enough that it doesn’t get overwhelming.

I appreciated the list of teachers and educational organizations state by state. If you’re like me and want to learn more about foraging and survival training, then you’ll definitely want to take a look at those. I also appreciated the list of recipes. All in all I look forward to using this book out in the field.

This is such an interesting and informative guide. Packed full of illustrations and great tips not even related to the foraging but the outdoors as well. Love her references of what to avoid and the differences of harmful look-a-likes. Can’t wait to explore on outings with my young family who all love nature and will learn about its many bounties in such a fun way. And the selection of some recipes the author has provided extends the fun and learning even after we’re home. I look forward to our upcoming family adventures! The medicinal info is also very helpful when in the outdoors and a potential need arises. Thank you for this compact book on Foraging and it’s benefits.
