“To be interested in food but not in food production is clearly absurd.” – Wendell Berry
I couldn’t agree more with that quote. The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook is going to really get folks excited about cooking, sourcing and even growing their own healthy food!
Even if you’re not in a position to grow your own food, it’s important to understand sustainable food production in order to be a better—and healthier! —consumer. This book is designed for everyone, whether you live in a farmhouse, an apartment, or a house in the suburbs. For some, I believe that this book will be your “gateway drug” to changing your life and becoming part of the solution.
This book could be your field guide to changing the world!
