The videos currently on this channel are all part of the "Foraging in a Nutshell" class, which is a 2-hour long class on the best wild foods of Michigan. As its name indicates, the class is intended to be concise rather than comprehensive, so the videos don't go into very much detail. If you need more details, see the written version of the class online at "The Foraging Center." Most of my work is actually on desert plants and my 1,280-page book "The Botany of Survival" goes into all the details you could ever want about wild foods of the American Southwest. This book is also at "The Foraging Center." My work in Michigan is more recent and will eventually be more comprehensive. Details take time, and those details will be in the form of videos throughout the state of Michigan.

Thanks for this! Cultivating Dandelions ad Concord grapes in the back yard in Michigan.
Thank you so much for generously and kindly sharing your knowledge. I came across this video 9/29/24 and I will indeed be foraging 9/29/24…😊
Absolutely the best Foraging video for Michigan area I've ever seen. I've been foraging for a few years, and my daughter has just started her own foraging journey, with my two young grandsons. I was so happy to share this with her ❤
Ive never heard ANYONE say that Asparagus is NOT one of the mor palatable wild foraged plants! Hunting wild Asparagus is one of my favorite spring past times here in Michigan. Ive been riding around the back roads collecting this delicious and beautiful bounty for 50 years❤
Thanks for posting this . I have a spikeless variety , but saw more bushes growing nearby . My wife thought i was crazy and said I'd be poisened ! Cant wait to show her this ! The spiked ones tasted even better than the ones without spikes . I will make some wine out of them , or " hand sanitizer " too ! If you catch my drift . Im subbing ! Maranatha !
The edibility test shouldn't be used for mushrooms. There are some deadly ones you wont know have harmed you more than 1/2 day later.
I love asparagus!!
Thank you!
Very well done 👍🏼 I know you couldn’t get in depth but as a new forager, this was a great introduction, especially, by the season 👍🏼
Wonderful info! I’m so glad that I heard about this video from the conservation district up here in Lake County. ✌🏻💕🌿
Informative, thorough, and direct - this is an absolutely fabulous video!
Awww, I Love FRESH asparagus (not cooked)! Thanks for all you effort and work put into this 🙂
Thank you so much for this amazing content. Your presentation and information is braided together seamlessly and a pleasure to learn from. Thank you.
Thank u
Man, great video!!
Love this video! Well laid out and informative.
Thank you!
I gew up around Hemlock. I used to play in it as a kid. We used to pretend smoke with it. Wrestle around in it. Lol. I never knew it was poisonous till I was older.
i recently got into foraging. thank you philips
I like the taste of it.
This was the best video i have seen so far
What about eating the Stalks during winter? I heard one could eat the stalks
How generous of you to offer this information for free! What an amazing video. Thank you so much
Had no idea these were edible!
Try a black walnut jam. It's harvested before it's ripe, and processed with water to remove bitter taste. Than boiled with sugar and cloves to make incredibly tasty jam.
One thing is for sure this person won't be getting any cancer 😀
Can I boil the bark from pine tree inn a water? I think that will be a tasty tee
When do you know they are ready to be picked? I have some growingnin my back yard or i should say takomg over my bacn yard lol
I just grab the bundles of fully purple ones
Color is the main indicator, and the seeds should be crunchy. If the seeds are soft, the grapes are still maturing. Ripe grapes should also detach from the clusters without much effort. Riverbank grapes turn from light green to dark reddish-purple or bluish-purple, and they have a dusty coating.
By far, the best, most informative Michigan foraging video available!
Maybe you can help me ? I was out on a vacant lot long a wooded area. I came across a plant that had string beans on them, but the stems was flat and had a vain in the middle and vine like. I don't think string bean plants have flat stems ? So what could it be (I live in South East Michigan) ?
Possibly something in the Lathyrus genus, like the everlasting pea (L. latifolius), but I would need more details. Vines producing string beans could suggest the legume family (Fabaceae), and a few species of Lathyrus with flat/winged stems can grow in vacant lots. Try the michiganflora.net website. On the search page, you can set the physiognomy checkboxes to "vines" and that will list every vine in Michigan. I hope that helps.
@@foragerphillips Thanks, what you said helped me, I identified it as wild sweet pea. ua-cam.com/video/645n9BZeOrU/v-deo.html
Love it 😍 I need some plants of this
What if the tree seems sick? Would it still be edible. I ask this as I look at our pine in the backyard. It does not have many needles on half of it. I would be interested to know this information. Thank you for making this information available! This is a very informative video. I plan on using this as a part of my homeschooling! ♥️
Anything that looks unhealthy is definitely not edible. I believe it would be best to seek other trees and let the one you mentioned recuperate. Droughts, bark beetles, and various diseases can turn needles brown. If trees are merely a bit stressed from drought, I believe the healthier, more vibrant parts would still be safe to eat. However, droughts can make trees more susceptible to diseases, and if any part of a tree looks infected then definitely don't gather anything from that tree. Likewise with shrubs, plants, and especially grasses. When foraging, it's always best to stay on the safe side. My website has a lot more information. There's a link below the video.
Lots of info in a short vid. Love it.
Thank You!!!🌱🌿🌲❤
Good post. Most fail to realize that if their bodies are highly in need of detoxification, yes they will experience side effects. Creator didn't put us here without the food/ medicinal forage we need . May be my opinion only but found it to be quite true.
This video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯 WELL DONE
Beautiful! Thank you ❤
Where are these usually found?
Lawns, fields with short grass, agricultural areas, open woodlands, shorelines, and along trails are good places to look. They seem to prefer sunny areas and the fruits are typically available in June. I hope that helps.
Thank you for your videos!!
This video will be watched many times by our family thank you!
Thank you!
Great info thank you
New family member came from my channel to support yours, great video sir blessings 📫🤗💕👴🦌🙏🏡🍀
Thank you for such an in-depth tutorial
Great video
Greetings from Roseville Michigan near Lake St.Clair, I'm a monarch butterfly rearer
Pickled asparagus if you like that sort of thing, maybe with some mustards?
UA-cam likes u! They suggested u next! Here we go!
Very good video, though to add, the American nettle, or wood nettle, is not only edible, but verymuch like spinach and just as nutritious as the other but more mild in taste. be more careful with the stinging part though because it is definitely worse, but the payoff is worth it.
Thank you for the good word. I agree with everything you said about American/wood nettle. The updated video will include that species. I just processed a batch of the leaves and will do a few more batches. All the processing methods, even dehydration, had good results.
Well. Done. Sir. 👏. So complete.
