About the Book:
Rather than cover hundreds of plants in abbreviated accounts like a typical field guide,
Sam Thayer has chosen a smaller selection of species to discuss in exhaustive detail,
including only those plants he has eaten fifty times or more.
This book contains high-quality color photographs of each
plant, painstakingly selected to facilitate identification and to depict the plant parts
at exactly the stage of growth in which they should be harvested. The text is accurate and
thorough, giving readers of any experience level the confidence to harvest wild plants for
food.
Botanically, the text is accurate - yet it remains
accessible to the layperson by using technical terms only when necessary.
The Forager’s Harvest has many unique features that will appeal to naturalists,
hikers, campers, survivalists, homesteaders, gardeners, chefs, Native Americans, and
whole-food enthusiasts. The book contains a calendar of harvest times for wild produce, a
step-by-step protocol for positive identification, an illustrated glossary tailored to the
needs of foragers, a recommended reading list, plus special sections on conservation,
safety, nutrition, harvest techniques, preparation methods, and storage. The
Forager’s Harvest is not a regional guide, and will prove useful to readers across
the US and Canada
