Overview

Explore the secret pantry of delicious flavors hiding in your local greenbelts. Your dinner need never be boring again.

 

Would you like to get outdoors, connect with nature, and relearn the wisdom of the ancient tribes living close to the land?

 

Do you realize the incredible wealth of free food in your backyard, the local park, or nearby natural spots waiting to be picked and eaten? 

 

Wouldn't it be fun to wow your friends with a tasty dandelion, sorrel, and nasturtium salad tossed with wild berries, or a 5-star level wild garlic and nut casserole that will make Michelin chefs jealous?

 

Imagine taking a walk down a country road or at your local park, and being able to collect a nourishing basket of healthy, natural goodies on your way. 

 

You can even involve your friends or family, and make it into an outing that everyone enjoys and learns a lot from as well.

 

Foraging for food is a free, sustainable, and healthy activity that's not only good for your physical and mental health but also great for your pocket. 

 

There's plenty of food all around you, ready to be harvested and tasted, that will add new and exciting flavors to your meals. 

 

Unfortunately, mixed in with these delicious foods are toxic and poisonous plants… and it's easy to confuse them and accidentally hurt yourself. 

 

That's why you need guidance from a reliable source that will show you how to safely forage wild plants. 

 

This book will not only tell you where to look but also help you identify these treats by sight and smell so that you can confidently gather your food without fear.

  • The secrets of ethical wildcrafting and foraging — look after mother earth so she can continue nurturing us in turn.
  • A comprehensive list of the most common wild greens, roots, mushrooms, nuts, and berries in the mid-Atlantic, including what they look like, where to find them, and how to prepare them for mouthwatering feasts of flavor
  • How to store and preserve your foraged findings in a range of yummy ways, from jams to dried teas

About the Author

An outdoor survivalist and long-term forager, Shannon Warner is the author of Wild Edible Plants of the Mid-Atlantic Region.

Her work is focused on helping readers to identify the edible plants that grow in the wild, harvest them, and use them for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Shannon works in I.T. for a major hospitality company, but her passion has always been for the great outdoors. Outdoor survivalism is very important to her, and she’s committed to helping others understand the bounty nature has to offer all around them. She has been foraging for many years, and over that time, has dedicated many hours to researching and exploring the plants she comes across. She is also a landscaper, which has broadened her understanding of how different plants work together to form a thriving and vibrant ecosystem.

Shannon loves the outdoor life, and one of her favorite ways to relax and revive is through wild swimming, which she loves to do in lakes and rivers. With two adventurous dogs by her side, she can often be found hiking and foraging in some of the most beautiful spots in America. She is originally from Maryland but loves traveling and facilitates this by living the RV life, spending half the year in Arizona, and the other half in Northern California.
