For those of us wanting to learn more about wild edibles- this ebook is a great start! Not to mention it is only $12.50! Of course you can order a hard copy autographed by the author himself- “Wildman” Steve Brill if you prefer.
I have learned a lot from this book and I have so much more to learn. There is a ton of info here and many recipes for using your wild edibles. You must check it out.
