Took this on a weekend camping trip up near Big Sur and the section on identifying huckleberries alone saved us from a sad snackless hike. The borage and buttercup breakdowns are clear enough that even my city-born partner felt confident pointing things out by day two.

I’ve lived here my whole life and still learned something new on every page—the section on identifying borage alone is worth it. The way it breaks down foraging by region and season makes it easy to actually use, even for a total beginner like me.

William ★★★★★

I’m a total beginner and the way it breaks down foraging by region in California made it so easy to start, even from my apartment balcony with just a few pots. The bit on cultivating helpful plants really clicked for me. Already planning my first huckleberry hunt this weekend.
