Reviews
"George Barnett shows that with this book he is not only knowledgeable, but has immeasurable wisdom about the forests and the wild areas of Kentucky. We should all consider ourselves lucky to have this edition to add to our library shelves. Foraging for food is at an all time high in popularity right now, and it is thanks to the hard work and dedication of people like George."—Clay Bowers-Michigan, foraging teacher and nature enthusiast at nomiforager.com
"While covering awesome native food plants like hickory and eastern camas, it's nice that George also includes non-native foods like wineberry and autumn olive. Combining wild edible plants and edible/medicinal mushrooms makes this book stand out in a fun and exciting way!"—Jed Arkels, small nursery grower/owner of Drop Seed Ecology, and wild foods enthusiast
