A beautiful deluxe trade paperback edition celebrating the 10th anniversary of Barbara Kingsolver's New York Times bestseller, which describes her family's adventure as they move to a farm in southern Appalachia and realign their lives with the local food chain.
Since its publication in 2007, Animal, Vegetable,
Miracle has captivated readers with its blend of memoir and
journalistic investigation. Newly updated with original pieces from
the entire Kingsolver clan, this commemorative volume explores how
the family's original project has been carried forward through the
years.
When Barbara Kingsolver and her family moved from suburban Arizona
to rural Appalachia, they took on a new challenge: to spend a year
on a locally-produced diet, paying close attention to the
provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the environmental,
social, and physical costs of American food culture, they hoped to
recover what Barbara considers our nation's lost appreciation for
farms and the natural processes of food production. Since 2007,
their scheme has evolved enormously. In this new edition, featuring
an afterword composed by the entire Kingsolver family, Barbara's
husband, Steven, discusses how the project grew into a
farm-to-table restaurant and community development project training
young farmers in their area to move into sustainable food
production. Camille writes about her decision to move back to a
rural area after college, and how she and her husband incorporate
their food values in their lives as they begin their new family.
Lily, Barbara's youngest daughter, writes about how growing up on a
farm, in touch with natural processes and food chains, has shaped
her life as a future environmental scientist. And Barbara writes
about their sheep, and how they grew into her second vocation as a
fiber artist, and reports on the enormous response they've received
from other home-growers and local-food devotees.
With Americans' ever-growing concern over an agricultural
establishment that negatively affects our health and environment,
the Kingsolver family's experiences and observations remain just as
relevant today as they were ten years ago. Animal, Vegetable,
Miracle is a modern classic that will endure for years to
come.
