Formerly a resident of Sacramento County, California, where she taught through a number of organizations, she now makes her home in Humboldt County, California, surrounded by a diverse and rambunctious garden. In her newest book, she shares information on being food secure in times of climate change, economic down-turn, peak oil, and other challenges facing families and the world today. You will learn about healthy, inexpensive foods that can be safely stored; how to protect those foods from rodents, insects, and other threats, and how to put together a balanced diet using unprocessed staples and home-grown produce.
Harvest also covers growing herbs and foods to help maintain the immune system and how we can support both community and world-wide food security through the choices we make each day. For the first time, she shares her grandmother’s vision of the Green World.
