		<description><![CDATA[Upon discovering City Farmer: Adventures in Urban Food Growing (2011) by Lorraine Johnson, I feared the book would be yet another personal tale of small-scale urban agriculture.

Growing a Farmer: How I Learned to Live Off the Land (2011) isn&#8217;t necessarily the most unique tale. But it is a great account of one modern farmer&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
