Featuring localization maps for 400 wild plants and recipes to maximize their use, it’s an invaluable resource for identifying, harvesting, and enjoying the bounty of nature.

Whether you’re a seasoned forager or just beginning your journey, this guide is essential. It’s perfect for those moments of uncertainty in the field, or for complete beginners seeking to uncover the secrets of wild foods. With its detailed medicinal uses for hundreds of plants and step-by-step instructions on creating natural remedies, the book also serves as a practical guide for anyone interested in holistic health and self-reliance.

Wild foods offer unmatched benefits—free of GMOs, pesticides, and harmful contaminants, these naturally grown treasures are far superior to many expensive “organic” options found in stores. With this book, you’ll have the knowledge to find and harvest these nutrient-rich foods for free, providing you with a sustainable, healthy alternative for any time, but especially in hard times. Keep it in your home, Bug Out Bag, or emergency preparedness kit—it’s as vital as the food itself.

This guide is more than just a book; it’s a preservation of ancestral knowledge, a connection to the traditions passed down for thousands of years. If we don’t actively keep this wisdom alive, it risks being lost forever. For many of us, our first connection to the wild came from a parent or grandparent teaching us how to identify a simple berry or plant. The Forager’s Guide to Wild Foods honors that legacy, ensuring it remains accessible for future generations.

About the authors:

Nicole Apelian, Ph.D. is an herbalist, author, wilderness skills instructor, TV & Film survival consultant, on-screen TV personality, anthropologist, and biologist. She spent years living in nature with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, one of the last indigenous peoples who still live as hunter-gatherers. An unexpected diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2000 led Nicole to apply her research skills toward her own personal wellness. She focuses on a healthy living strategy, including deep nature connection and gratitude practices. Through changes in her lifestyle, recognizing profound mind-body linkages, and making and using her own herbal remedies, Nicole went from bedridden to being fully alive and from surviving to thriving. She has helped thousands of people treat themselves naturally by following her holistic wellness protocol, including the use of medicinal mushrooms. In 2015 she was among the first women ever selected for the History Channel’s hit TV show “Alone”. Despite having Multiple Sclerosis, she went on to survive solo for 57 days straight in a remote area of Vancouver Island with little more than her hunting knife and the wild foods and medicines she found there. You can learn more about Nicole Apelian on her website, including what she does daily for MS, and about her online herbal apothecary.
