Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

I am not a Kingsolver fan. Her writing is excellent but she's a little too preachy and judgmental for my taste. But this non-fiction work was chosen by my book club so I diligently read it. It tells of the year that Kingsolver and her family decided to eat only locally grown food. They moved to a farm they owned in Kentucky and became growers of much of their own food and learned to participate in the kind of marketing the local farmers were doing. An interesting amalgam of research and personal memoir, the book also contains small sections written by the author's husband and daughter.
