Item Description...
Overview
The National Humanities Medal-winning author of The Poisonwood Bible follows the author's family's efforts to live on locally and home-grown foods, an endeavor through which they learned lighthearted truths about food production and the connection between health and diet. Reprint. 250,000 first printing.
Publishers Description
Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life—vowing that, for one year, they’d only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an enthralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.

 | Read it twice....so far. Dec 12, 2009 |
| My husband and I just loved this book. I resd it out loud to him, and so far we've read it twice!!!! | | | | Ressurected and Innovative Gardening Dec 8, 2009 |
| Matt Cohen MD, author Zen of Watering Your garden. This is a terrific book but in reality a difficult level for most people , families , even cooperative families to achieve. Where I live in North Florida the battle of the bugs and other pests is unrelenting. A local cooperative group with a fair number of families participating have similar problems. Watering is critical in certain seasons and mulching imperative. Never the less this harkens to tried gardening and preserving food--hence resurrected as well as some innovative and imaginative ideas. It is a very good read no matter how much of your food supply you can provide on your own. This book is a good guide for what you, the reader can grow in your locale.

| I'm a fan of Kingsolver's fiction, and was happy to finally read this book when my bookclub chose it. The parts about how corporate agribusiness has changed the way Americans eat were quite unsettling. Kingsolver reminds us that with a small amount of gardening space anyone can raise some of their own food. I was sad to read how so many varieties of grains, vegetables, and even poultry are virtually obsolete, pushed out of the picture by types favored by big business. Most of the vegetables we buy are now less nutritious due to chemical-laden growing and long-distance shipping practices, and therefore Kingsolver makes a strong case for buying organic (and LOCAL). This book even made me think about making my own cheese. And, the recipes Camille (Kingsolver's daughter) includes sound delicious! I highly recommend this interesting and very entertaining read! | | |  | 3 1/2 stars Nov 22, 2009 |
| I might have enjoyed this book more if I hadn't read it right after reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma". That was such a great book that whatever I read next was bound to be a bit of a letdown. Still, it's a good read and has some nice humorous touches. I especially got a kick out of Lily - wish there had been more of her. The negative reviewers are right in that Kingsolver does get a bit preachy at times but not enough to ruin the book. Anyone who is into or interested in the local food movement or gardening in general should enjoy this book. | | | | Feel Good Book of the Year Nov 20, 2009 |
| I read a lot of non-fiction regarding food politics, farming, etc. Unlike a lot of books that leave you feeling overwhelmed and depressed, this book made me feel warm, inspired, and optimistic. A great look at the positive benefits of getting back to basics when it comes to food. This is a good book to read before Thanksgiving and Christmas as it takes a really positive stance on our food culture surrounding holiday feasts. I kept explaining this book to friends as vegetable gardner porn. | | | Write your own review about Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)
