Summary:
"The inspiring and sometimes hilarious story of a family that quit the rat race and left the city to live out their ideals on an organic
farm
, and ended up building a model for a
new
kind of agriculture. When Brent Preston, his wife, Gillian, and their two young children left Toronto
ten
years
ago, they arrived on an empty plot of land with no machinery, no money and not much of a clue. Through a decade of grinding toil, they built a real organic
farm
, one that is profitable, sustainable, and their family's sole source of income. Along the way they earned the respect and loyalty of some of the best chefs in North America, and created a
farm
that is a leading light in the
good
food
movement. Told with humour and heart in Preston's unflinchingly honest voice, 'The
New
Farm
' arrives at a time of increasing awareness of the overwhelming environmental, social and moral costs of
our
industrial
food
system. A vision for a hopeful future and a model of agriculture that brings people together around
good
food
, promotes a healthier planet, and celebrates great
food
and
good
living."--Provided by publisher.
