pickSpectacular. Of course I loved the story but also learned so much — there was no such thing as “organic” in the 1980s?! Helping me to put together my own narrative of what‘s gone wrong in our food system. Loved it.

pickLiz Carlisle really shows us what it means to be grassroots in this journey of organic lentil farmers in rural Montana. It all comes down to community, but not just your friends, families, and neighbors. This truth also encompasses the community in the rich soil, the bugs, plants, animals, and fungi of the farm‘s ecosystem. Read this book to see how just a few farmers have changed the world. #farming #plantybooks
#emojinov #🌽 Still on my TBR. We are at the eating holiday thinking about tomorrow‘s feast . This book is about some farmers in Montana bucking the big agribusiness model for large grain farms and growing organic lentils instead . Higher in protein than grains , lentils produce their own fertilizer and withstand different growing conditions.To solve our food problems and avoid vegetable monocultures , innovation will come from small farms.
