If your answer to the questions asked above is yes, then here's a perfect activity for you that will satiate your wanderlust and your tastebuds at the same time - foraging!

Foraging is very much like going on a treasure hunt - you are always going to be surprised by what you find. As you walk through the wilderness, you are welcomed by a plethora of plants, nuts, seeds, fruits, berries, roots, stems, mushrooms, and flowers, many of which you can eat - 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.

And when it comes to a region like the Midwest, where the varying seasons can greatly affect what you’ll find, you’ll need to be more meticulous. This book serves the role of a senior forager and a companion on your wonderful adventures in the midwestern United States so you can safely gather wild plants without wondering if you’ll get poisoned.
