Meet the local farmers who feed America—in stories, photos, and 50 recipes!
When Forrest Pritchard went looking for the unsung heroes of local, sustainable food, he found them at 18 exceptional farms all over the country.
In Detroit, Aba Ifeoma of D-Town Farm dreams of replenishing the local "food desert" with organic produce. On Cape Cod, Nick Muto stays afloat and eco-friendly by fishing with the seasons. And in Washington State, fourth-generation farmer Robert Hayton confides, "This farm has been rescued by big harvests. . . . For every one great season, though, you've got ten years of tough."
With more than 50 mouthwatering recipes and over 250 photographs, this unique cookbook captures the struggles and triumphs of the visionary farmers who are Growing Tomorrow.

      Starred review from September 15, 2015

      This title, which follows Pritchard's popular first book and memoir, Gaining Ground, showcases 18 diverse sustainable U.S. farming operations. The colorful behind-the-scenes stories clarify what the public should know about consuming food that is "crafted" rather than mass-produced. The author demonstrates these differences without being preachy, however, and instills the benefits of eating organic and locally grown food using environmentally sustainable farming methods. He interviews a fisherman, mushroom growers, hog farmers, inmates who raise goats for dairy products, and urban beekeepers, along with owners of traditional fruits, nuts, and vegetable businesses. Readers will relate to these men and women and understand what led them to choose an ecofriendly model of farming. Enjoyable recipes employing the growers' produce are sprinkled throughout the text. VERDICT Pritchard inspires his audience to support local farmers and to consume and/or grow provisions using sustainable practices. This book will appeal to foodies, environmentalists, and gardeners in general.--Deborah A. Broocker, Georgia Perimeter Coll. Lib., Dunwoody
