Description:
Many people dont realize the diversity of the farms on Cape Cod from produce and livestock to local vineyards, cranberry bogs, oyster flats, as well as lavender, holly and horse. When Stephanie discovered there were so many farmers specializing in different things, she decided to try to capture them in a book.
The interest in farming has grown over the years and she has been selling flowers at the various farmers markets on the Cape. She met the farmers through the markets and her work as a journalist. The end result is a book that goes beyond the farm markets and explores the green lifestyle in full color with 266 images that document what real farming is all about. At the talk you will learn about the farmers and why they chose their lifestyle.
It's a chance to connect with our disappearing cultural heritage and the farmlands of our grandparents. For most of us, living a sustainable lifestyle, means patronizing local farmers who grow organically instead of buying food that travels 1,500 miles before reaching the supermarket. This book is a travel guide to the farms of Cape Cod that many people dont even know exist.
