As factory farming continues to dominate food production a growing movement insists that a
hands-on connection to food and the land that produces it cannot be set aside. In Grown &
Gathered Matt and Lentil Purbrick present a sumptuously photographed guide to living alongside
nature and returning to an ancient way of life. 365 days of notes from the authors will help
you read the environment as the seasons change and detailed guides to growing plants and
raising animals will ensure that you build your farming practice on a stable foundation. True
to the ancient way of life the authors seek to rediscover Grown & Gathered also includes a
chapter on the nuances of trading the goods you produce rather than relying on monetary
exchange. Finally nearly one hundred recipes for everything from staples to full meals offer
delicious ways to prepare the food you have produced from the ground up.
