The Real Dirt: An Organic Grower's Journey and the Values That Inspired It

by Peter Burkard

Overview

This book calls for a return to the fundamental American values which our society today seems to desperately need to rediscover: frugal living, resourcefulness, the Golden Rule, and growing one's own food. A memoir is used as the context into which is woven inspirational wisdom, food growing how-to, and marvelous quotes from luminaries the author admires. Dreaming of a simpler but happier life, while longing to leave the world better than you found it? Here is the inspiration to do all of that.
