When my son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last year food became a priority in our house. I have been exploring ways to help my family eat more healthy while saving money and growing my own fruits and vegetables continues to draw my attention.
Being one who has tried (and failed) numerous times to grow produce, I still look for resources that might help me to achieve my goal which is why I picked up Making Local Food Work by Brandi Janssen.
What I never dreamed of was how my eyes would be opened to a whole new world! I've never really thought about where our produce comes from and the challenges that farms go through in today's world. No, it did not show me the best way to grow a tomato but it did make me realize that food does not go straight from the ground to your plate and how there is a whole other side to the food we eat.
This book is extremely well written as well as throughly researched and is a wonderful resource.
