Joan Gussow

A highly acclaimed nutritionist whose work has been published in Country Journal and Annals of Earth, Joan Dye Gussow is living testimony that eating well year-round from an average-sized lot in the suburbs of Piermont, New York, is both possible and desirable. To live this civilized version of "the good life" involves no sacrifice of variety or taste, and only enhances life's sensual pleasures and one's mental outlook.

    This Organic Life

    Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader

    Barbara Kingsolver calls This Organic Life "the most important book I've read in a long while." The memoir of one woman's quest to change the world by growing and eating her own food. Full of recipes, personal stories, and well-reasoned arguments for returning our diets to locally available, seasonal produce. Joan has been featured in the New York Times and on National Public Radio.
