Field & Forage

Harvest baskets and the homestead library — foraging field guides, livestock and poultry books, off-grid and solar how-to, and writing on the plain life.

Our foraging guides are chosen by region and by author, not by cover. A field guide written for the Pacific Northwest is the wrong book east of the Rockies, and in a subject where misidentification carries real risk, the right book matters more than a pretty one.

A note on foraging: never eat a wild plant or mushroom identified from a single source. Cross-reference every find against more than one guide, and where you can, against someone local who knows the ground.
