Anyone know where I can go to learn about edible plants in Arkansas? I know I probably won't run out of food (I always bring too much), but I would just like to have this knowledge. Thanks ya'll!

Mar 14, 2008 at 5:47 pm #1424375I'd read up on Steve Brill's website! http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/
Mar 17, 2008 at 8:01 pm #1424705You can find a recipe for this online I know. My grandpa used to say they ate this stuff alot when he was a kid. It's called Phytolacca americana and should be pretty widespread in Arkansas if I remeber right. See what you can find about that but I think it may have some potential after further research.
Mar 17, 2008 at 8:07 pm #1424707You might want to try you local cooperative extension service. They're usually backed by the state's agricultural universities and they also train master gardeners, which can be a huge resource of info. Also, any organic farmers or their type of publications in your state may have some info on some native species that have slipped into cultivation. I would definetly go after the master gardeners and local extension service first. And ask the extension agents what books they remember from college concerning the state's native flora.
