Fields that Dream
|
- Item #: 402
The first book completely devoted to exploring the lives and experiences of small-scale sustainable farmers, Fields that Dream describes the current state of American agriculture while cultivating a deep appreciation for the work and lives of the farmers who are a growing minority in the American economy. Through firsthand interviews with farmers from the University District Farmers' Market in Seattle, Fields that Dream gives readers across the nation a glimpse of the daily rewards and challenges of putting healthy food on our tables while struggling to sustain a vanishing way of life. Filled with photos and discussions of the evolution of modern-day farming, this book is a celebration of community and a tribute to the role of the small-scale farmer as a bridge over the ever-widening gap between rural and urban loving. 100 percent of the royalties of Fields that Dream will be split between The Neighborhood Farmers' Market Alliance and the PCC Farmland Fund.
