About this product
Product Information
Growing Good Food is a beginner's guide to growing your own herbs, fruits, and vegetables using organic and sustainable practices. It's for home gardeners who want to raise food on their own patch of soil--all while cultivating a microbe-rich, carbon-sucking, regenerative foodscape. Acadia Tucker, a regenerative farmer, gardener, and climate activist, invites us to think of gardening as civic action. By building organically-rich soil, even in a backyard, we can capture greenhouse gases in the very place we're growing nutritious food. To help us get started, Tucker drafts plans for gardeners who have a little ground or a lot of it. She offers advice on how to prep and clear land, cultivate healthy soil, plant food from seeds or starts, fend off pests and disease, and grow 21 popular perennials and annuals, including fruit trees, herbs, strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, garlic, beans, peas, and potatoes. Tucker also describes the climate changes taking place in our own backyards, and the various steps we can take to boost a garden's resilience. Growing Good Food includes calls to action and insights from leaders in the regenerative growing movement, including David Montgomery, Anne Biklé, Gabe Brown, Wendell Berry and Mary Berry, and Tim LaSalle. By the end of this book, you'll know how to grow some really good food, and build a healthier world, too.

Reviews
"Growing Good Food is about working where we are, on a small scale, to improve the health of the land. Acadia Tucker tells us that what we do matters and if we have access to any piece of ground we can start addressing climate change. My father, Wendell Berry, says that this kind of work is radical now, when public attention is focused on global solutions. This work is what people are for."-Mary Berry, "Add this gardening book to your library. If we don't get together and take care of the soil, our atmosphere is toast."-Tim LaSalle, Cofounder The Regenerative Agriculture Initiative, Chico State, "Acadia Tucker's books are both beautiful and practical. With the approachable but extensive blueprint that she provides, you can't help but be immediately empowered and inspired to join the carbon gardening movement."--Annie Martin, Kiss the Ground, "In this well-informed and educational call to action, Acadia Tucker set out to simplify regenerative gardening so that anyone can do it. She succeeded! With step-by-step instructions and chapters dedicated to your favorite veggies, readers will be inspired to grow food and save the planet, all from the comfort of your backyard."--Jes Walton, Food Campaigns Manager at Green America, An important read for any backyard grower who wants to make a positive impact on the climate in their own patch of dirt."--Robyn Rosenfeldt, Pip Permaculture Magazine, "I love this book. Growing Good Food is great for beginning gardeners who care about the climate."--Lucy Biggers, Now This Media, "I'm obsessed with this book already, I might sell everything and buy a farm."--Brittany Yu, Branch On Bowen Bookstore, "Acadia Tucker's new book shows what it takes for beginners to throw themselves into regenerative agriculture."-Modern Farmer, "In this well-informed and educational call to action, Acadia Tucker set out to simplify regenerative gardening so that anyone can do it. She succeeded! With step-by-step instructions and chapters dedicated to your favorite veggies, readers will be inspired to grow food and save the planet, all from the comfort of your backyard."-Jes Walton, Food Campaigns Manager at Green America, "I would recommend Acadia's new book to every gardener to learn how a person can impact the environment through one's own garden."--pegplant.com, "Tucker has a unique perspective on the climate crisis. Working as a farmer from Washington State to New Hampshire, she has seen radical, unpredicted shifts in climate which decimated sensitive annual crops but spared perennials. She has also seen the difference it makes to those crops when soil contains an abundance of organic material vs traditionally farmed soil which doesn't. It's fascinating to read."--Todd Heft, author, "Acadia's books are wonderful, timely, and elucidate the simple and the complex beautifully. I especially love the call to action of the climate victory garden. We are at a time in human history where we all must get involved to reclaim our food supply and halt climate chaos, and these guides are an inviting how-to. Brava!"--Ave Lambert, Director of Education, CUESA

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
