A heartfelt new story detailing life through 52 “seasons” on a biologically diverse, sustainable farm located in the Mackinaw River Valley of central Illinois, where the Brockman family has lived and farmed for five generations.
Through engaging family stories, literary and scientific reflections, and week-to-week farm events, The Seasons on Henry’s Farm is a mindful and mouthwatering invitation to eat great food grown by people near you. By taking readers on a journey through a year in the life of small-scale farmers committed to producing healthy, nutritious food in a way that enriches the land for generations to come, Terra Brockman appeals to all who not only eat to live, but who live to eat.
Terra Brockman Writer. Speaker. Food and Farm. In 2002, she founded The Land Connection, a nonprofit working to save farmland, train new sustainable farmers, and connect consumers with fresh local foods. It all started when a For Sale sign appeared near Terra’s family farm one late spring day in 2002. The following year TLC was successfully able to save it’s first parcel of IL farmland. As posted on there website:
The Land Connection envisions community-based food systems in the Midwest,
in which every farmer has the opportunity to grow food in a sustainable manner, and every person has the choice to enjoy local and organic foods.
As part of there fund raising efforts, The Land Connection publishes a
stunningly photographed wall calendar containing fascinating fun facts about gardening, agriculture, and food history with plenty of room to fill in your own events and facts.
This Saturday, come meet Terra and get a copy The Season’s on Henry’s Farm. The Land Connection calendars will be available as well. They make great gifts, and don’t forget to pick copies for yourself while your too. Fresh vegetables from Henry’s farm will also be available.
