Reviews"The perfect book for the modern day Bay Area forager."-- Matt Berry, Wildcrafter "In a world focused on serious issues such as climate change and the redesign of energy, food, and human shelter systems ... Mia and Kevin's work shines as a functional and joyful solution to the seemingly massive scale of the human footprint. Eating the plants that are available, and growing wild in your neighborhood and region is more than a symbolic gesture towards honoring ecology ... it returns you to the ecological system as functioning member, like any other bird, bug, or mammal."-- Rebecca Burgess , Author of Harvesting Color: How to Find Plants and Make Natural Dyes "This is a wonderful resource that is not only full of information on individual plants, it also sets forth a vision for how we may live in a regenerative way in the beautiful landscape of the Bay Area"-- Drew Harwell --edible gardening educator, "The perfect book for the modern day Bay Area forager." -- Matt Berry, Wildcrafter "In a world focused on serious issues such as climate change and the redesign of energy, food, and human shelter systems ...
