UMaine Extension harvesting tips included in AlterNet article on fiddleheads

Guidelines published by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension were included in the AlterNet article, “Why fiddlehead ferns are the new superfood you have to try this spring.” The article cites a bulletin written by David Fuller, an agriculture and nontimber forest products professional with UMaine Extension, that offers advice for identifying and picking ostrich fern fiddleheads. UMaine Extension’s “Identifying and Harvesting Fiddleheads” video also was included in the post.
