The story of Barbara Kingsolver (the author) and her family. For one year they abandoned industrial processed food to live off of their own land. During this year they would only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, it is an absolute must read for anyone considering making a change in the way they buy food. It inspired me to scrutinize my food choices even further. The website and book have great recipes. Fun fact: Barbara Kingsolver is voted the Seventy-Fourth Most Dangerous Person in America!!
