Aprašymas

The forager, urban farmer, and NatGeo star shares a beautiful, practical field guide and primer to the ethics of caring for the land, meeting you wherever you are in your relationship with the natural world.

With this indispensable resource in the garden, in the field, and in the wild, learn the basics of foraging, as well as the “whys” of foraging and self-reliance. In a country with overflowing grocery store shelves, why should we learn to find, identify, grow, and harvest our own food?

With Indy’s wisdom and guidance, and journal space to record your own observations, learn:

• common foraging and farming identification terms
• how to measure and ID specimens
• culinary and medicinal applications
• the stories behind the plants; how they came to grow where they are
• sociocultural and economic considerations
• how to make her favorite foraged recipes, from Dandelion Fritters to Yarrow Beer
• plus resources for additional reading and exploration.

Rare Harvest is the field guide for an ethical meal, from forest to farm, from person to plate. Foraging and growing food is more than a hobby, a trend, or a pastime—it is the answer to the preservation of humankind.

Whether you live in a food desert, in the suburbs, on a rural farm, or in a high-rise in the heart of the city, your personal and genetic story is interwoven with the story of the foods you eat. By way of being human, you are already a farmer. To uncover your innate ability to grow and find food is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

Rare Harvest includes gorgeous, lush color inserts featuring key plant allies.
