We have organic vegetables in our front and back yard….maybe it‘s time to see what flowers each might enjoy the company of.
Planck suggests eating real, whole foods, including pasture-raised beef and chicken, plus butter, cheese, and eggs from those animals. She also suggests that raw milk is as safe as pasteurized milk if it comes from a reputable supplier.
I use butter from grass-fed cows and imported from Ireland (imagine the price going forward with the crazy new tariffs).
She does a huge data/info dump throughout. Often, my eyes glazed over. 😵💫🙄 Overall A-.
pickAnyone who remotely cares about how food is sourced, grown, or made should read this book.
When I was growing up on a vegetable farm in Loudoun County, Virginia, we ate what I now call real food.

pickThe title of lunatic farmer is one Mr. Salatin wears proudly. This book lays out his philosophy of farming. In hip language, he is old-school. His ways, though modernized, hearken to the days before modern fees lots and industrial farms. It's following nature's patterns. I enjoyed this book immensely. The only nit-pick is that it could use some pro editing. That is easily ignored. Excellent and fun read.
Been on my radar a while. I think sometimes I might be a lunatic for doing what I do on my little urban homestead.
pickI cannot say enough good about this book. So charming, so fun, so narrative, so warm, inviting and yet it challenges you as well. I look forward to coming back to this one!
