Novelist and nature writer Richard Horan embarked on an
adventure across America to reveal that farming is still the
vibrant beating heart of our nation. Horan went from coast to
coast, visiting organic family farms and working the harvests of
more than a dozen essential or unusual food crops--from Kansas
wheat and Michigan wild rice to Maine potatoes, California walnuts,
and Cape Cod cranberries--in search of connections with the
farmers, the soil, the seasons, and the lifeblood of America.
Sparkling with lively prose and a winning blend of profound
seriousness and delightful humor, Harvest carries the reader on an
eyeopening and transformational journey across the length and
breadth of this remarkable land, offering a powerful national
portrait of challenge and diligence, and an inspiring message of
hope.
