Browsing Nature's Aisles: A Year of Foraging for Wild Food in the Suburbs

This guide to suburban foraging shares the “inspiring journal of one family’s effort to break free from manufactured foods and transition to . . . wild fare” (Thomas J. Elpel, author, Botany in a Day).

As part of their commitment to increasing self-reliance and resiliency, Wendy and Eric Brown decided to spend a year incorporating wild edibles into their regular diet. Their goal was to use native flora and fauna to help bridge the gap between what their family could produce and what they needed to survive. The experience fundamentally changed their definition of food.

Packed with a wealth of information on collecting, preparing, and preserving easily identifiable wild edibles found in most suburban landscapes, Browsing Nature s Aisles is the story of one suburban family s adventures in wild foraging. This unique and inspiring guide is a must-read for those who wish to enhance their food security by availing themselves of the cornucopia on their doorstep.
