Blending photographs, philosophy, humor, and practical knowledge, Ableman brings the reader into the everyday world of a small farm. With him we prune peach trees, harvest peppers, journey to the farmer's market, and fight city hall. Part memoir, part photojournalistic montage, \u003ci\u003eOn Good Land\u003c\/i\u003e reveals one man's love of the land and his struggle to protect it, and to spread the word about the importance of practicing sustainable agriculture and preserving our farms in an increasingly urban world.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"On Good Land: The Autobiography of an Urban Farm | Alice Waters | Hardcover | 9780811819213 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1755644","offer_id":49146369671320,"sku":"1755644","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71tS3fBqAeL.jpg?v=1779462238","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/on-good-land-the-autobiography-of-an-urban-farm","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
