The Quarter Acre Farm by Spring Warren (Paperback)

"Finally, a book about local eating that doesn't make me feel bad about myself! Warren entirely avoids the genre's stinky mire of holier than thou preaching, and instead tells the honest and informative story of her edible experiment. The recipes following each chapter are tasty, and the illustrations are stunningly beautiful."
Novella Carpenter, author of Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer
Reading Spring Warren s book is like chatting with a good friend over coffee as she relates her garden adventures (some hilarious) and muses on the meaning of almost everything. This is an instructive, useful book, based on sound garden experience and in-depth research, and it s an intimate tale of one woman s relationship to food and family.
Georgeanne Brennan, author of Potager: Fresh Garden Cooking in the French Style and A Pig in Provence
Spring Warren s memoir of a year feeding her family from her suburban garden resonates with the American dream of self-sufficiencywhat she comes to know of growing food is impressive, the recipes superband it is beautifully written, enlightening, and very funny.
