Why thank you, happyolks. Sounds like this would be a good read for your road trip — but I’m assuming you mean for when you’re NOT driving.

Folks I pass on the freeway who are turning pages with their hands on the wheel freak me out.

Beautifully written post, I’m going to try to pick up this book today for my long drive home from San Diego to Sacramento. Lot’s of agriculture to contemplate along the way…

Yes, I know of several similar services in my town too. In fact, I think they’re probably quite popular right now. Though I must say, since I picked some strawberries today out of my own backyard that we planted ourselves, it is nice to enjoy the fruits of your own labor.

So timely. My husband was just telling me about a service he read about for people who really want to grow their own but don’t have the time (or real desire to dig in) to farm/garden…that there are people/services/businesses who will come in a ready the land, plant and maintain your garden/farm/fruits/veggies. It’s one way to grow your own–and it’s kind of nice that it’s available.

Yes, Shari, Asiya is one of many gleaners gathering up what would otherwise be fallen goodies. I’ve profiled her previously:

And also, The Lemon Lady, who passes on foraged produce to food banks who dispense them to folks in need (not everyone knows that many food banks WILL take fresh food):

And there’s another foraging post in the works. So stay tuned!

Let us know, Jesaka, after you’ve had a read, who most inspired you in the book.

I think you’re right, Susan. And I happen to know (since some friends are involved) that there are more on the way. The more the merrier, in this instance, I say.
