My book, A Bushel's Worth: An Ecobiography, has just been released by Torrey House Press. In A Bushel’s Worth, I write about my farm, Stonebridge, and the wonderful community that has formed here around local, small-scale, organic food production. In writing ecobiography, I explore how my roots in farming formed my connection with the natural world and inspired an environmental activism committed to keeping land in agricultural production. I also look back to my grandparents’ farms in North Dakota for lessons about farms as what I call “cultivated space,” a place where humans and nature form a fertile alliance. I'm a reader in the book, as well--of my grandmother's diaries, family photographs, classic farm literature, and even recipes from then and now. You can learn more about A Bushel’s Worth and watch a digital excerpt from the chapter about my great-grandmother Flora, a teacher and farmer on the North Dakota prairie, at my website, abushelsworth.com. If any SheWrites members are in the Boulder or Denver area, I'd love to meet you!
