Discover the most nutrient-rich sources of food and enjoy countless health benefits— all for free!

Foraging is the perfect activity that will satiate your wanderlust and your tastebuds at the same time – if only you know how to identify which ones can be eaten.

To do this successfully, you need to know what to look for, how to pick it safely, and the difference between what’s delicious and what’s poisonous.

Here is just a small fraction of what you will discover in these 2 guides:

• Beginner’s guides to the ecological regions of the Midwest and Mountain West
• A comprehensive checklist of the supplies you need before you say ready, set, go!
• USDA-approved plant profiles of over 35 wild plants in the US Midwest
• Season-wise foraging guide for the U.S. Midwest ant Mountain West regions
• General safety, poisonous look-alikes, plus checklists and calendars

And much more!


Includes Foreword by Mike Masek, M.Ed, Director of The Forager’s Path, School of Botanical Studies in Flagstaff, Arizona From the Mountain West Foraging book:

This foraging book by Kami Kessel is a welcome addition to the genre. While any guide on wild plants will list individual species, Kami’s book has distinct additions that make it stand out, plus she makes an important point that is frequently missed . . . As the subject of foraging becomes more mainstream, sustainable harvesting from nature becomes more essential. Plus, the chapters on Poisonous Look-a-Likes and General Safety need to be at the top of the list for anyone who endeavors to ingest foods that are found in the mountains, canyons and meadows of the American West . . . The final positive point that stands out for me is Kami’s emphasis on foraging for health and enjoyment rather than during a survival situation . . . Her emphasis on foraging to connect with nature and reduce stress by being outdoors is a preferred ‘survival strategy’ in a fast-paced world . . . I recommend this book to my students and I encourage you to add this helpful resource to your foraging library.
