Product Description:
Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life—vowing that, for one year, they'd only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it.

I love this book, I couldn't put it down. My husband and I have tended community gardens together for the past twenty years. However, the closest we came to the grand scale of personal food production described by Kingsolver was when we were graduate students in Ithaca, NY where we had our first garden, with over 20 tomato plants. I can relate to the tomatoes covering every square inch of available kitchen space.
Now, my 6 year old daughter and I have dreams of raising our own chickens, ... Read More
