Pacific Harvest: A Northwest Coast Foraging Guide

Wild Arts Festival is excited to welcome Jennifer Hahn - author, scientist, teacher, culinary explorer and wilderness guide. She is an adjunct professor and teaches sustainable wild food harvesting at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies at Western Washington University and leads seaweed workshops for the North Cascades Institute, Salish Sea tribes, and First Nations. Her love of foraging “wild morsels’ inspired her to write two guidebooks about foraging along the Pacific Coast. Newly released is Pacific Harvest: A Northwest Coast Foraging Guide. It highlights over 70 edible species including seaweeds, beach vegetables, shellfish, mushrooms, berries, trees, ferns and weedy greens and provides more than 60 recipes and information on sustainable harvesting practices. The recipe for Fiddlehead Quiche sounds particularly yummy! In her book, Jennifer shares immersive descriptions of her foraging adventures, as well as full-color photos to make identifying each species easy and enjoyable.
