September’s book:
"Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life," by Barbara Kingsolver, Steven L. Hopp and Camille Kingsolver (2007)
Our new meeting location is The Pink House in Cherry Park, 131 Eastern Ave. SE, Grand Rapids. And please note that we're meeting on a Tuesday for September.
About the book:
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.
