APPLES TO OYSTERS

On this cross-Canada odyssey, Margaret Webb introduces readers to great farmers in every province or, as she calls them, chefs of the soil and the sea, tractor-seat philosophers, or poet biologists. Her stories of the challenges they face growing good food are inspiring, touching, gritty. They will make you hungry. They will make you laugh. These fascinating stories about the passionate, driven people who farm and produce food in our country make for a powerful manifesto for eating Canadian.

"A lyrical song for sustainable agriculture and the hard-working farmers who persevere in feeding Canadians."
Ottawa Citizen

"Lively and entertaining with flashes of humour, the book is a collage of passion and excitement of a new generation of farmers."
Vancouver Sun
