Greenhorns by Paula Manalo
Synopsis:
A community of more than 5000 young farmers and activists, the Greenhorns are committed to producing and advocating for food grown with vision and respect for the earth. This book, edited by three of the group's leading members, comprises 50 original essays by new farmers who write about their experiences in the field from a wide range of angles, both practical and inspirational. Funny, sad, serious, and light-hearted, these essays touch on everything from financing and machinery to family, community building, and social change.
Very interesting book about novice farmers who, for the most part, have no previous or familial background in farming. They learn by trial and error and the generous help of their community.
