What ensues--through a series of hilarious encounters with all manner of livestock and colorful local characters--is a crash course in sustainable agriculture. Pritchard's biggest ally is his renegade father, who initially questions his son's career choice and rejects organic foods for sugary mainstream fare. But just when the farm starts to turn heads at local markets, his father's health takes a turn for the worse. - p. 2 of cover. 600 10 Pritchard, Forrest. 650 0 Farmers|zVirginia|vBiography. 650 0 Family farms|zVirginia. 650 0 Farmers' markets. 650 0 Local foods. 650 0 Sustainable agriculture. 914 MID.b22809314 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n9783243 938 Baker and Taylor|bBTCP|nBK0012251204 938 Brodart|bBROD|n103530037 994 02|bGPI
