Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A protg of Michael Pollan shares the story of a little known group of renegade farmers who defied corporate agribusiness by launching a unique sustainable farmtotable food movement.The story of the Lentil Underground begins on a 280acre homestead rooted in Americas Great Plains: the Oien family farm. Forty years ago, corporate agribusiness told small farmers like the Oiens to get big or get out. But twentysevenyearold David Oien decided to take a stand, becoming the first in his conservative Montana county to plant a radically different crop: organic lentils. Unlike the chemically dependent grains American farmers had been told to grow, lentils make their own fertilizer and tolerate variable climate conditions, so their farmers arent beholden to industrial methods. Today, Oien leads an underground network of organic farmers who work with heirloom seeds and biologically diverse farm systems. Under the brand Timeless Natural Food, their unique businesscummovement has grown into a million dollar enterprise that sells to Whole Foods, hundreds of independent natural foods stores, and a host of renowned restaurants.From the heart of Big Sky Country comes this inspiring story of a handful of colorful pioneers who have successfully bucked the chemicallybased food chain and the entrenched power of agribusinesss one percent, by stubbornly banding together. Journalist and native Montanan Liz Carlisle weaves an eyeopening and richly reported narrative that will be welcomed by everyone concerned with the future of American agriculture and natural food in an increasingly uncertain world.
