When I was a teenage my favorite summer activity was reading. Whether on a rainy day like today or out on the beach, I usually had a book in hand. Now that we farm, I rarely have time to read during the growing season, but come winter I try to pack it in and read everything I can.
Some of my favorite books from the last few years have been written by farmers. This list, in no particular order, includes some of those I’ve most enjoyed. Whether you are interested in growing your own food, aspire to be a farmer in the future or read to understand a different perspective, I think you’ll enjoy the following books. You’ll find most at your local library or independent book store.
