A Favorite Book by a Favorite Author

Barbara Kingsolver has been one of my favorite authors ever since I read The Poinsonwood Bible.  She's written a new favorite -- Animal, Vegetable, Miracle



Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, this book (released May 2007) tells the story of how her family was changed by one year of deliberately eating food produced in the place where they live. Barbara wrote the central narrative; husband Steven's sidebars dig deeper into various aspects of food-production science and industry;  and daughter Camille's brief essays offer a nineteen-year-old's perspective on the local-food project, plus nutritional information, meal plans and recipes.

In the book you'll read a lot about CSAs -- Community Supported Agriculture.  Check out her web site to find out more.  It's an idea whose time has come for Highland County
