Dive deep into food justice with the farmers, homesteaders, and policymakers who are bringing healthy and affordable food to your table!

Who grew the food you're eating for dinner? Most people don't know. Through interviews with more than twenty women farmers, climate journalist Rachel Sarah shares how modern farmers are changing the way we think about food production. Their stories include the struggles of undocumented workers, the shortage of fresh produce in low-income neighborhoods, and the food justice advocates who are feeding communities.

These remarkable women farm with a focus on equity and climate consciousness, renouncing the played-out image of the American farmer as Old McDonald. Learn about them and their mission in this middle grade nonfiction book alongside hands-on projects, inspirational activities, and even recipes.

Farmers being profiled include Suzanne Willow, Lanita Witt, Ivy Walls, Leah Penniman, Saara Nafici, Tepfirah Haana Rushdan, Kanchan Dawn Hunter, H. Nieto-Friga, María Inés Catalán, Amber Bell, Joanna Letz, Adrionna Fike, Leah Atwood, Dr. Gail Myers, Sheila Tupua-Sulu, Yemi Amu, Elizabeth Couse, Ana Elisa Pérez Quintero, Leslie Wiser, Katie Willis, and Layel Camargo.
