Review
"A wonderful addition to the literature of urban and small-scale farming." -- Bob Schildgen, Sierra
"Donahue's case that we should try to reconnect with the land is made more powerful because, in one town, he has shown it can work." -- Paul Raeburn, New York Times Book Review
"Enjoyable, stimulating reading for general readers, professional environmentalists, and everyone in between." -- Choice
"This is an extremely useful book on community economy. It seems to me not at all to oversimplify the subject, and yet it is always clear. It applies good sense to problems that people have often felt without thinking or knowing much about. It is well-written and thoroughly readable." -- Wendell Berry
