Blessing the Hands That Feed Us

What Eating Closer to Home Can Teach Us About Food, Community, and Our Place on Earth

Vicki Robin

There seems to be a lot of focus on locally grown foods, non-GMOs, and harmful food additives in the news and conversations right now. The author has taken a potentially dry subject and infused it with humor and personal stories. What began as a personal story to find out more about the food industry and locally grown products turned into an inspiring book about farmers, gardening, and people in local communities.

I am interested in a healthy alternative to all of the pre-packaged options out there. But I'll admit some reluctance to reading a book about it. But the author has done a great job of capturing the reader's attention while still imparting useful information. I finished the book inspired to change some of my eating habits, work on growing my garden, and checking out some of the local farmers.

I received this book free of charge from Goodreads in exchange for my honest review.
