"[Lyson] provides an excellent historical context on how Northeast
growers, who traditionally sold their products in local urban
markets, have been able to resist somewhat the pressures to go
corporate and in the current century, preserve their land by
embracing the CSAs, farmers' markets, and other forms of civic
agriculture."-- "The Community Farm"
An eye-opening read recommended for collections on agriculture,
community development, economics of food production and
sociology.-- "Academia"
