This book is going to make a good addition to my field work bag.

If you are new to foraging and wildcrafting, this is a good guide to have. It also enforces the foraging rule of thumb, if you can’t identify it, don’t eat it. To the untrained eye many things look the same, but it can be deceiving.

Great photographs and descriptions. Even a novice like me felt comfortable identifying specimens with this book.

Incredibly useful! Great photos. This book also includes a "Compare" entry for each fruit, detailing other plants or trees that may look similar.

Well organized and easy to use.

Love these little pocket guides. She has them for other regions too. They are almost identical with just a few fruits different between different state books. She has a wild berry cookbook that's great too.

I love how It would tell me what berries I can eat because I live in the woods surrounded by berries.
