In terms of being and organic or regenerative farmer, I've said quite often that you can know more about me by seeing my reading material (which indicates my interests and worldview) than having me fill out a bunch of certification forms. Which is to say that I believe truly organic food production is more about the producer’s emotions, thoughts, and worldview—along with the scrutinizing eyes and probing questions of his purchasing constituents—than it is about a pass/fail certification process that can be fudged or a set of rules that can be bent. With that in mind, this page is an inside look into what my bookshelf contains. In order of how I hold them in order of importance, here's my favorite books.
