I don’t go to church, but I do go to the covered stalls of the farmers’ market on Saturday mornings—wildflower honey, olive oil, butter lettuce, collard greens, arugula, Swiss chard, beets, snap peas, artichokes, fava beans, haricots verts, strawberries, peaches, oranges, orchids, ranunculus, butternut squash, avocados, heirloom tomatoes, lemons, lavender, basil, thyme—a place in which I can believe. I buy eggs from Varden, a farmer from Nipomo who wears overalls and shows me pictures of hens—my girls, he calls them—and they are not in cages. He talks about his girlfriend, lends me books about soil, makes compost tea, and asks, every week, What’s for show and tell?

Sounds like a great book, I love the title and your teasers!
Book Dilettante
I like the teaser. Beautifully written. The book seems pretty controversial. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing. If you get a chance, my teaser is here.
I really want to read this book.
Very interesting teaser.
That is one heck of a market and one strange person there too. 😉 Thank you for the teaser, hope you are enjoying the book.
This passage makes me hungry!
I know. I can’t wait til I have some veggies in my garden. Our farmers’ market is at a time I’m at work, but even then I don’t think it would have near the variety she’s talking about.
Great teaser! It makes me curious about the book.
This teaser has me interested, love the photo today stunning.
