Product Description
Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural lifeâvowing that, for one year, they'd only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an enthralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.

 Like a field guide for food! July 26, 2010

This book has changed the way I shop, cook, and eat. I recommend it to EVERYONE.
Loved the book! July 11, 2010
Ann November-moss (MD)
I listened to the book on CD first, and loved it so much, I wanted a hard copy of my own to refer back to. The CD is narrated by the authors and I find Barbara Kingsolver to be one of the most pleasant narrators I have listened to. Great book!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT July 8, 2010
Lynne Farr
Reading "Animal, Vegetable, Mineral," I learned when not to pick asparagus; who's for and against genetically modified foods; where to buy heritage seeds; that tomato plants habitually lose their lower leaves (not to worry); how to make mozzarella cheese; how to spell mozzarella cheese; how mass produced beef, pork, and chickens are raised; what dairy products are okay for the lactose intolerant; when to plant and harvest potatoes; and many other farm-fresh facts. Food, family, and turkey sex: what more could you ask of a book? Lynne Farr, author of OFF THE GRID WITHOUT A PADDLE Off The Grid Without A Paddle

After reading this book, I am ispired to seek out local sources for my weekly grocery shopping. Our small garden will be expaning a bit next year also. The stories are funny and eye opening. You will stop and think now, how far did my food travel to get here and can I buy this locally instead?
