Farmer John’s Cookbook

The Real Dirt on Vegetables: Seasonal Recipes and Stories from a Community-Supported Farm

Overview

From Culinate

The documentary movie — “The Real Dirt on Farmer John” — is a must-see; the book, written by and devoted to vegetable enthusiasts, is a must-read. Organized by farmer John Peterson and others from Angelic Organics, the community-supported farm he runs, this collection features more than 35 fresh vegetables and dozens of ways to prepare, cook, and store them. Interspersed throughout are segments from Farmer John’s weekly newsletter, stories from Angelic Organics shareholders, bits of hilarious conversations, and notes from the farm cook. The pulse and pace of farm life radiates from the essays and snippets herein, and there is much discussion about the theory and practice of biodynamic farming.
