Content descriptions
| General Note: | From early spring tilling and seeding through summer bounty to late fall harvest and cleanup, the author shadows ten young people, ages four to 14, as they grow some of their own foods. Each young person's focus is somewhat different. Jenna grows corn the way her First Nations ancestors have always grown it. Bradley enters his produce and preserves into a county fair. Espoir has a garden in containers. Sage grows all the ingredients for one meal of vegan soup and pumpkin pie while her sister Enna, at age four, helps her grandmother. Doukhobor brothers Cale and Quinn raise sixty chickens for eggs and meat. Keira and Benn produce enough food to give some away. Benn alson supplies the pumpkins for Halloween fun. |
