illustrated cookbook will show you how to reconnect with nature
through food, especially when shared with friends.

This book put a big smile on my organic farmer face. Why? With
playful people like Lisa Kivirist and John Ivanko kissing off
corporate America, the serious nature of taking back our food
supply becomes a belly-laugh, belly-full party that even the most
skeptic will want to attend. For good food and good laughter,
Farmstead Chef is the place to be.
