Growing Good Things to Eat in Texas: Profiles of Organic Farmers and Ranchers across the State (Volume 11)

Texas A&M University Agriculture Series

by Pamela Walker, C. Allan Jones (Foreword), Linda Walsh (Photographer)

As more and more people seek locally grown food, independent, family owned and operated agriculture has expanded, creating local networks for selling and buying produce, meat, and dairy products and reviving local agricultural economies throughout the United States.

In Growing Good Things to Eat in Texas , author Pamela Walker and photographer Linda Walsh portray eleven farming and ranching families who are part of this food revival in Texas. With biographical essays and photographs, Walker and Walsh illuminate the work these food producers do, why they do it, and the difference it makes in their lives and in their communities.

Live in Texas and need local sources for sustainably raised poultry, pork, beef, lamb, goat, and even shrimp? Would you like to join a local CSA or patronize a nearby Farmer's Market? Then pick up a copy of this book. I got mine at the Boggy Creek Farmer's Market in East Austin and it has helped me find good sources for a lot of the food that I like to eat. Has great personal profiles of the farmers and ranchers who make ethical eating in the lone star state a possibility as well.
