Summary:
"When most of us think of self-sufficiency, we think of growing a large garden, and maybe keeping a few chickens for eggs or meat. Unless you live on a large acreage, it is unlikely that it will be enough to allow you to completely break free from the corporate food machine. Wild foods are the ideal solution to bridging the gap between what you are able to produce to feed yourself and what your family needs to survive. The story of one suburban family's adventures in wild foraging. As part of their commitment to self-reliance and resiliency, armed with a copy of Connie and Arnold Krochmal's A Naturalist's Guide to Cooking with Wild Plants,
Wendy
and Eric
Brown
decided to spend a year incorporating wild foods as a regular part of their diet. Not only did they learn about specific flora and fauna, but they also had to learn how to prepare them in ways that would be both aesthetically appealing and palatable. With information on collecting, preparing, and preserving easily identifiable wild edibles found in most suburban landscapes, this is a must-read for anyone who wants to enhance their family's food security by availing themselves of the cornucopia on their doorstep.
Wendy
Brown
and Eric
Brown
are suburban homesteaders in southern Maine. They have been studying wild edibles for many years.
Wendy
is also the author of Surviving the Apocalypse in the Suburbs"--Provided by publisher.
