Growing Tomorrow: A Farm-to-Table Journey in Photos and Recipes: Behind the Scenes with 18 Extraordinary Sustainable Farmers Who Are Changing the Way We Eat

Meet the farmers that grow your food, see their faces tainted by the nourishing sun, and see their hands painted by the earth. Then learn their stories, see the food they grow being picked at peak freshness, and finally, try out one of their recipes: tried, true, and delicious.

Growing Tomorrow: A Farm-to-Table Journey in Photos and Recipes: Behind the Scenes with 18 Extraordinary Sustainable Farmers Who Are Changing the Way We Eat by Forest Pritchard allows you to envelop your senses in all things farm life. Written by a farm kid, about farmers (and their furry friends), this book is sure to inspire the naturalist in us all. I really enjoy the photos captured by Molly M. Peterson, but confess wanting more pictures, perhaps because of the pervasiveness of social media, I wish there was a video to accompany this book—maybe even a B-list actor with a soothing voice telling us about the boars and the bees, the fungi and the fried dandelion blossoms. I particularly liked reading the chapters out of order, perusing the pages of farms in locations that I have a personal connection to, and then lingering over those in parts of the country I have yet to visit, but perhaps now feel inclined to. A great read, but an even better cookbook, I will be keeping this one within a spoon’s reach.
