My all time favorite is "Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook" by Dina Falconi. It hard to find, I paid over $100 with shipping to get the hardcover to Canada. But it's well worth it. My only complaint is it needs a sequel with even more plants.

KZbin can take over your life if you let it. I'm excited for the new direction of your channel. It's a shock all of your books are ones that I don't have. I enjoyed 🙂 your video.

Thank you for putting yourself out there! I’m older and have always wanted to study and harvest wild edibles. I’m getting the courage because of people like you. Thank you again. Keep up the good work. Try videoing in more natural light so maybe you want have to contend with the lights. Thank hat would be a deal breaker for me. You did great!!
@SmallSeeds2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I am glad to hear you are getting more confident when it comes to wild edibles. I absolutely prefer natural lighting but during the day at my house there is no way to film without tons of background noise. I figured I should at least try out the lights but have a lot to learn with them lol. Happy foraging, friend! 😊

A very good book I came across was How I Use Plants in my Everday Life, by Isabell Shippard. She is Australian but she covers a lot of plants you can find here. She doesnt provide much on identifying them but she does detail edible, medicinal uses. Anecdotal accounts of what it does for her or others, and how it has been used historically. A few ideas also on some of them preparing to eat or use as medicine.

I'm curious as to whether or not this list has changed at all considering the date of the video, I am a novice in this field, would you recommend anything in specific/anything that I should focus on reading into first, before I go out and injure myself? Any recommended books specific to the Northeast besides the one you mentioned? Also are there any books you prefer for medicinal information/seed storage? I have got "The Forager's Harvest" by Samuel Thayer and "The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook" by James Green on its way currently. Thanks for your time and information! Ps. How in the world are you able to walk through the forest without get covered in Poison Ivy? I have had severe allergic reactions since I was young.
@SmallSeeds Жыл бұрын
Recently I found a book specific to my state which was an amazing find. I am sure each state has one, so perhaps looking into one for yours would be a good idea. Since you mentioned poison Ivy, knowing the poisonous plants in your area is always a great idea before you go out foraging. . Books that have poisonous look alikes, like the Peterson's Field guide, are great. I also recommend working with the plants you see almost every day first. For example, common garden/lawn weeds like dandelion, chickweed, violets, etc. are always a great place to start. My list hasn't exactly changed since I have been more focused in other areas of interest besides foraging. The books you mentioned seem great! Anything by Samuel Thayer is great for foraging. For medicinal information Rosemary Gladstar books are usually favorites amongst herbalists. Peterson also does a field guide on wild medicinal plants which is great for identification and some uses of the plants. When it comes to a lot of great information the internet has really become my favorite tool. There is TONS of info out there and sometimes it can be hard to sift through, but I enjoy being able to compare and contrast knowledge from different sources.

Usually I try to stay on paths when it comes to avoiding Poison Ivy. I am definitely not immune to it but don't get as severe of a reaction like some of my family members. Washing with soap as soon as possible after a walk is something that I think helps. (especially if I think I walked through some poison ivy) Im usually scanning the ground pretty intensely when foraging too so spotting it and avoiding it is a big one. I hope some of this was helpful!
