I like this one, myself; http://learningherbs.net

Yes, that's a great site. I gave my girls the Wildcraft game from there for Christmas last year, they still love playing it.

Some of you are old enough to remember Euell Gibbons and Stalking the Wild Asparagus. I do from back in my Scouting days. I teach my kids what and when they can harvest naturally occuring foods. He was a hero

I used to see wild tobacco growing all over the place in Virginia. Were I a smoker I would have been stopping on the side of the road much more frequently.

Im in virginia as well. I hike a lot on the appalachin trail and on wma lands (game lands). During mid summer i find so many blackberries/rasberries youhonestly dont even need to pack food. Plant them in nice rows along edges of your property and it does make a decent hedge/fence. Plus i love blackberries! I never tried to cultivate them becuase i can go pick more than i could ever eat or preserve but i imagine a little help and they would be even more productive.


Long term You can try nuts (or know where a tree is on your route) bonus is some nice squirrel meat to go with it!


Pawpaw-- also common around me but i dont like them; if i was hungry im sure i could eat some!


I havent tried but heard of these
Ramps
Sunchokes
Cattails

Pawpaw- sounds like it was MADE to be a post apocalyptic food source...

Rhubarb practically grows itself. My gran had a patch and all she did was pick some when she wanted to eat some and that's it. Never weeded or watered it. Ignored it. Theres now a patch in my dads allotment / garden that we share and it's much the same. My mum doesn't even go to the house when she wants a snack, just picks a stalk, peels it and eats it raw.
