520 Long before organic produce was available at your local
supermarket, Wendell Berry was farming and writing with
the purity of food in mind. For the last five decades, he
has embodied mindful eating through his land practices and
his writing. In recognition of Berry's influence, Michael
Pollan offers an introduction to this new collection. "To
read the essays in this sparkling anthology," he writes,
"many of them dating back to the 1970s and 1980s, is to
realize just how little of what we are saying and hearing
today Wendall Berry hasn't already said, bracingly
before." This compendium joins today's bestsellers as
essential reading for all who care about what they eat.
