We’re not too familiar with your plants down there, but even if the book only covers a few plants in your area, you’ll probably learn a lot about them. We remember picking up an edible plants book once that only described a few species — interestingly, it did more to expand our wild edible experience than books that cover hundreds of species — probably because it inspired a quest to find and try the species that were described. Good luck, and enjoy your wild harvest!

Thanks for the information.

We’re so glad that you’re keeping up with our writings. We’ve really wanted to go see one of the author’s workshops — soon after we discovered the book we learned that he had just done a workshop over at Beaver Creek. Grrr! We just missed it! We’ve written an email or two back and forth, and he seems like a really nice (and incredibly knowledgeable) person. We’re right with you when it comes to using this book as our primary wild foods guide — especially in Wisconsin.

Thanks for reconnecting!

Sweetwater,
Kenton and Rebecca

You won’t be sorry. We learned so much, and we thought we were already pretty knowledgeable about edible plants! If you didn’t order from Amazon already, you can purchase directly from the author (link is in the article), and we think he sends a signed copy.
Thanks as well for the compliments on the site. It’s very inspiring to hear that you enjoy it!

Thank you for this.
