Books:
In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
by Michael Pollan

"...I realized that the answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated question of what we should eat wasn't so complicated after all, and in fact could be boiled down to just seven words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

In this book, Michael Pollan makes his case against the traditional Western diet.


Sharing the Harvest: A Citizen's Guide to Community Supported Agriculture
by Elizabeth Henderson and Robyn Van En

"Sharing the Harvest is an extraordinary book, an opening to a new world in which growing and eating food will be a sharing among humans, between farmers and surrounding communities, not a commercial venture for profit. It is both utopian and practical, inspiring and down-to-earth. It is a treasure, rich with suggestions, exciting for what possibilities it foresees for the human race."
--Howard Zinn

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Barbara Kingsolver
An interesting, personal memoir of seasonal eating and reconnecting with your local food chain.

The New Organic Grower: A Master's Manual of Tools and Techniques for the Home and Market Gardener

Coleman writes, 'The premise of this book is that you can make a good living on 5 acres or less of intensive vegetable production. Thus it is those acres that concern us most.' This is an essential book for any small scale farm.
