I have recently finished a book called "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle"  It is by the author, Barbara Kingsolver.  The book is an account of Barbara and her families year of living/eating locally grown food.  Her family consists of herself, her husband and 2 daughters.  They had a very large garden, of which they grew most of their food, and canned, froze, dried, etc a lot.  They did not eat any food that was shipped in more than a 250 mile radius from their home.  They also had chickens, for their eggs, and raised Turkeys for meat.  It is a very informative book, that is well researched.  It makes the reader think hard about where the food you eat comes from, and the hidden costs involved.  As well as the health benifits of organic local food.  I found it to be an enjoyable read!   It made me excited for us to plant our garden this spring!
