The Essential WIld Food Survival Guide, formerly From Crabgrass Muffins to Pine Needle Te

Eating wild foods has been a passion of mine since I made my first cup of pine needle tea 15 years ago. The nutrition contained in wild foods are unmatched by anything you can find in a supermarket. And best of all, wild plants are free!

Not only are they extremely nutritious, they can be EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!

Especially, if you have the right person guiding you.

The author knows her stuff!

When buying any book on herbs, it is really important that it be written by someone who really uses the herbs. Linda Runyon is a seasoned herbalist and author. She is an expert in outdoor living skills because she spent many years homesteading as she raised her family.
