I've been reading....

Hi!

So, lately I've been doing a lot of reading and I wanted to share with you some of my favorites,

First off is this lovely book,

I loved it! Such great practical advise, not on farming so much as family and how to have everyone involved together. I just love Joel Salatin's philosophy on farming. I remember first seeing him first in the movie "Food Inc" and thinking, "that guy is smart"

Next is this little gem,

I really really enjoyed it as well. I probably enjoyed it a lot because it was written by a couple of Canadians (like me!) and in an area that I know pretty well. Most of my relatives live within the 100 mile range in this book and I have visited there many many times. I know what the terrain looks like and it was just remarkable to me that in such a lush, farm filled area, it was so hard for the authors to find and buy local food!

A few of the books I've borrowed for the next few weeks include these three;

Yes, that does say Chicken Poop for the Soul :)
Can you tell what has been on my mind lately? I am naturally a voracious reader and since I don't have any background in farming I want to have a varied bunch of information to help me out :)

How about you, have you read any good books lately? Do you get obsessed about one topic or author and have to read everything about it/them?
