"The first book completely devoted to exploring the lives and experiences of small-scale sustainable farmers, Fields That Dream describes the current state of American agriculture while cultivating a deep appreciation for the work and lives of the farmers who are a growing minority in the American economy. Through firsthand interviews with farmers from the University District Farmers' Market in Seattle, Fields That Dream gives readers across the nation a glimpse of the daily rewards and challenges of putting healthy food on our tables while struggling to sustain a vanishing way of life.
Filled with photos and discussions of the evolution of modern-day farming, this book is a celebration of community and a tribute to the role of the small-scale farmer as a bridge over the ever-widening gap between rural and urban living."--BOOK JACKET.
