Animal, Vegetable, Miracle Book Discussion


I can't recommend this book enough! Written by best-selling author, Barbara Kingsolver, it documents a year of local eating. I live in the same county as the author, and couldn't wait to pick up this book to get some tips that would certainly apply to my local eating options. I was surprised at the quick pace of this book, and how it pulled me in and kept me reading. Peppered with country anecdotes, and sobering statistics, AVM is a book that will likely change the way you eat. Every chapter is followed with numerous recipes, that keep me going back throughout the growing season for inspiration. After reading through it once, I am now enjoying reading it for a second time for the Sound Mind, Sound Mom Book forum hosted by Simple Mom. I do hope you'll join the book forum, and read this groundbreaking novel!

Did you know that Barbara Kingsolver is our neighbor? Their property borders ours although I have only met her,very briefly, once. I have read her book and enjoyed it except for some of the preachy political parts and I did find a few things a little hard to believe.

Where can I buy the reusable bags that say "Animal Vegetable Miracle?"
