To farmers everywhere, who do
such important work and who get
to participate in the miracle of tiny
seeds becoming delicious food.
If I’ve learned one thing from this project, it’s that it takes masses of people to run a
farm—from the farm family to the field workers, washers, and packers; people with
great handwriting to create the adorable chalkboards listing “Today’s Produce”; the
CSA members and farmer’s market customers who commit to buying the wonderful
food and who frequently volunteer to work at the farm itself; to the whole community,
which benefits from the preservation of farmland, whether in the rural countryside or
in a green oasis in the city.
And so it was with this book. Masses of friends and colleagues helped me by
recommending farms in their regions. In particular, thanks to hugh Acheson, Brigid
Callinan of Idaho State university College of Technology Culinary Arts, Piper Davis,
Meredith Deeds, Rebekah Denn, Naomi Duguid, Laura ford, Dabney gough, Kathy
gunst, Sarah hart, David Joachim, Janet Keeler, Amanda Levin, Susie Middleton, Jan
Newberry, Susan Puckett, Catherine Ryan, Amelia Saltsman, Molly Stevens, Andrea
Weigl, Dawn Woodward, the people at various edible Communities and Slow food
chapters, and, of course, localharvest.org. I’m so sorry if I’m leaving someone out!
Special thanks to Ashley gartland and Caroline ford for their great support in the
kitchen and beyond, and to awesome new intern TaMara edens. And, of course, huge
thanks to Carolyn Mandarano, Alison Wilkes, Carol Singer, and my other good friends
at my “alma mater,” The Taunton Press. And gratitude, along with big hugs, to the
photo team of Kathryn Barnard and Callie Meyer for their gorgeous photography and
for introducing me to the best prop store ever.
