First published 2016
Nathan Hill opens his foraging guide with autumn's abundance spread across the landscape. Economic uncertainty and desires for sustainable living drive more people toward wild food gathering. Hill argues that fall offers the richest harvest season for novice foragers willing to plan carefully. He breaks down his approach into practical categories: five autumn nuts, five seasonal berries with preparation suggestions, and five alternative wild foods complete with harvesting techniques. The book addresses why foraging benefits both survival skills and daily life. Hill includes year round foraging tips beyond the autumn focus. He emphasizes talking with experienced foragers alongside reading as essential first steps. The guide targets readers curious about finding, preparing, and eating their own wild food. Hill presents foraging as both practical survival skill and return to natural living methods.
