Finalist for the 2012 City of Victoria Butler Book Prize New
farmers, experienced growers, budding environmentalists, and fans
of natural, organic produce alike are sure to love "All the Dirt."
Filled with beautiful photographs and covering a wide variety of
topics, from agrofuels and food sovereignty to practical tips about
specific tools, "All the Dirt" is the must-read how-to book about
small-scale organic farming. But beyond the practical applications,
it is also the inspiring story of three friends who followed their
dreams and became successful business partners. Authors Rachel
Fisher, Heather Stretch, and Robin Tunnicliffe, co-owners of
Saanich Organics, a farmer-run local food distributor, share
entertaining stories of three farmers' lives, while also providing
practical information about how to start a farm. They relate their
personal and collective experiences as women, mothers, and farmers
through anecdotes, and discuss the compelling reasons why Canada
needs more organic farmers. "All the Dirt" proves that there is no
one right way to start a farm and no single solution to any
problem. But that by working together, farmers can create a
resilient agriculture that is vibrant and fun, as well as
economically viable. Rachel, Heather, and Robin have co-owned
Saanich Organics since 2002. The business has been featured in
numerous publications, including the "Times Colonist," West Jet's
"Up " magazine, "EAT Magazine," and "The Province." It has also
been featured in "Island on the Edge" (a documentary film), as well
as on CBC radio. By working co-operatively to grow and distribute
top quality produce, the business has earned the respect of the
farming community, the restaurant community, organic consumers, and
activists. Visit Saanich Organics online at
