Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life 
by Barbara Kingsolver, Camille Kingsolver, Steven L. Hopp 

Imagine eating only locally grown foods for one year. That's what Barbara Kingsolver, her husband and two daughters did when they moved from their home in Tuscon to a family farm in Virginia. To adopt the "locavore" lifestyle, they immersed themselves in growing and raising their own food and supporting local farmers. The book not only increases awareness of the oil consumption related to transporting foodstuffs around the world, it details the healthful journey from processed foods to locally-grown/produced fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheese, poultry and pork. The book illustrates the importance of supporting local farmers and provides inspiration to grow your own, to seek out farmers' markets and to learn to cook and enjoy seasonal foods.
