First lineA farmer's journey is normally taken in winter, when fields are at rest and orchards are bare and dormant. It's strange and awkward to be leaving now, with the year's work yet to be harvested. AnnotationMichael Ableman, a farmer himself, found some hope for American agriculture in a cross-country trip he took with his son. Seeking out farmers who are engaged in sustainable, organic, small-scale agriculture, he talked to them about why and how they do what they do. Ranging from a fig farm in California to heirloom tomatoes grown in a Chicago housing project to Eli Zabar's complex of Manhattan rooftop greenhouses, the farms and farmers profiled here are a joy to read about. In addition, there are some wonderful recipes from the growers--including chili verde, wild salmon grilled in a fig leaf, and blackberry sorbet--and the photographs are stupendous!
