Letters to a Young Farmer is an anthology of essays addressed to beginning farmers, but with resonance for anyone who dreams of a more sustainable and just food system--or who simply appreciates the extreme tastiness of food that comes to the table straight from the farm instead of from a factory. Letters to a Young Farmer showcases the voices of 36 farmers, activists, entrepreneurs, writers, chefs and others--a who's who of the sustainable food movement. The challenges of the farming life are laid out vividly and unflinchingly: the struggle of producing a bountiful harvest season after season, the labour that never feels complete, the tractor that always needs to be repaired at the most inopportune moment. But no less tangible are the satisfactions of the empty field at dawn, the poetry of the independent life lived in harmony to the earth.
