Farm Together Now

by Amy Franceschini, Daniel Tucker, Mark Bittman (Foreword)

With interest in home gardening at an all-time high and concerns about food production and safety making headlines, Farm Together Now explores the current state of grassroots farming in the U.S. Part oral history and part treatise on food politics, this fascinating project is an introduction to the many individuals who are producing sustainable food, challenging public policy, and developing community organizing efforts. With hundreds of photographs and a foreword from New York Times columnist Mark Bittman, Farm Together Now will educate, inspire, and cultivate a new wave of modern agrarians.

[Stephie Jane Rexroth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very much enjoyed the wide variety of farms, farmers, locales, visions and motivations. The interview-format allowed the personality and passion of the individual farmers to come to the forefront. I think I had a preconceived notion of what a farmer is/thinks/does... this book broke that stereotype; I was impressed by and related to many beautiful philosophies.

Inspiring stories of organic and local farms across America. Maybe I'll visit some of these places some day!
