Started this one a few days ago. I like it a lot more than Ishmael, that's for sure! This book so far is like Ishmael with better back-and-forth dialogue and characterization.

pickAnyone who remotely cares about how food is sourced, grown, or made should read this book.
#CoverStories #Barn Spin wool , make cheese, make bricks ,cure bacon! My grandparents could make almost everything, I have always been interested in the old folkways. If we keep going the dystopian way we all may need books like this !
"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
The debut of fair-trade-certified coffee in the United States in 1999 was an important event. After years of growth, fair-trade-sales in Europe had begun to stagnant and in some cases even decline. The United States consumes an astounding one-fifth of the world‘s coffee—more than any other nation-making coffee the country‘s single most valuable food import. ☕️
pickI enjoyed this take on local eating that shows how, even in a small apartment in a northern climate, one can eat locally. I loved the personal insights and farmer portraits. And it made me hungry, which is the best thing I can say about a food book. 😂 Picture is part of our haul from this week‘s farmers market. It‘s winter squash season!
pickFern and her mom live at a sustainable farm in upstate NY, with a leader named “Dr Ben”, a stern ruler. It‘s the only home she can remember bc she was little when they moved there. When Mom absconds with her and drives to a California beach town saying that Ben is dangerous, Fern is furious and makes it her mission to get back “home”…
So heartful and well written🩵🩵

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!
pickA great introduction into a rapidly expanding field of research and application. Who knew that plants NEEDED bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protozoa to thrive? Time to set aside all the dangerous chemicals and team up with the soil food web. Nobody ever fertilized an old growth forest.s
Recommended by so many gardeners. Let's read it.
