Wendell Berry: Nature, Farming, Food

Writer and agriculturalist Wendell Berry started following sustainable farming practices long before many new what "organic" meant. "Bringing It to the Table: On Farming and Food" is a collection of his most influential essays in which he describes pure and sustainable farming with personal anecdotes and profiles of farmers operating truly organic farms (not just "organic" by label).
