The sky sparks again, a fused web of tearing lines…Damn. “An explosion of light rips me out of a deep sleep. This book’s a page-turner, complete with a gripping opening scene: Plus, it’s more than just another farming tome. If you’re itching for the pleasures and inspirations of armchair farming-the kind that just might nudge you to growing and selling your own food-this book’s for you. Equal parts anecdote and practical organic farming guide, this book is a powerful testament to the Diffleys' passion for their work and a terrific guide to the trials and tribulations of sticking to the land…and going organic." Publisher’s Weekly says, “"In addition to being a charming memoir of love and living off the land, Diffley's debut is a timely tale of modern farming, the growing organic movement, and the problems that arise when urban development runs up against fertile fields. Atina Diffley’s courageous and vivid account of her journey to successful organic farming offers an inside view of the nitty-gritty challenges and extraordinary satisfactions that come with local, organic farming. With all of the support for farmers’ markets and local farming movements in our area, we couldn’t pick a better book. The Book Club will meet Sunday, August 31, from 7:00-8:30 at a member’s private residence to discuss Turn Here Sweet Corn. Join us in reading the August Co-op Good Food Book Club selection, Turn Here Sweet Corn: Organic Farming Works by Atina Diffley. By Rachel Clark, Good Food Book Club Volunteer Coordinator
