Personal journeys back to wild food

One author recalls gathering blueberries near a New Hampshire home before becoming vegan. Ten years later, that person returned to an omnivorous diet and resumed fishing. The writer also began learning to hunt deer in frosty woods.

Specific activities for gathering wild edibles

Reported activities include pulling brook trout from abandoned granite quarries and casting for striped bass. Travelers can also pick portobello-like indigo milk caps emerging from the forest floor. Sitting at the base of a maple with a rifle is another described experience.

Views on land as a food source

The author states that the earth feeds bodies as well as souls. Over two decades, the writer has awakened to the continent's vast diversity of wild edibles. These experiences remind people that the land provides sustenance directly from nature.
