Description
Learn the way of the forager and identify, harvest, and prepare wild plants by season.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to gather wild plants growing around you for your food and medicine instead of a drugstore to treat a common ailment? The Forager's Handbook is an essential guide for living this lifestyle year-round.
With more than forty years of experience in the world of plants, forager Vickie Shufer empowers you to maintain and improve your health by following the way of the forager. She highlights plants that are available through each season and how to use those plants for food and medicine. Sustainable harvesting and preparation techniques are included as well as foraging ethics. Other topics include:
- Forest bathing
- Plant cycles
- Preventive medicine
- Simple recipes for edible and medicinal plants
- And so much more
Follow the seasons and harvest wild, edible, and medical plants with The Forager's Handbook.
