    Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. We all eat. By the time food gets to your plate it has been on a journey. Open this book to the start of that journey, where much of your food (and flowers) comes from.Some of the best soil in the world lies north of Seattle in the fertile Skagit River Valley. More than 90 crops are grown by farmers who immigrated from Europe, Japan, and Mexico. Farming is labor intensive and repetitive throughout the seasons, and daily tasks are required to keep the crops thriving. Wanting to show the unique mechanics of farming and who is involved in tending and harvesting the foods we eat, Craig J. Barber has spent years visiting and photographing land and life on small mostly organic farms. He interviewed farmers, many of them third and fourth generation, whose stories are featured in these pages. He spent time with the field workers, not taking photos right away but gaining their trust. As a result of his persistence, Barber captures the physical demands and artistry of farmingfield workers tossing cabbages up to another crew member in the back of a truck, a crew walking bent over behind a planter-tractor to make sure the seedlings are set correctly, the care and tenderness of those caring for livestock, the beauty of a kale field in the snow, and the drama of harvesting leeks on a winter night under a spotlight.Where Our Food Comes From is a book with many facets. Look at and savor the rich photographs. Read the farmers stories. Study the facts and figures to expand your knowledge about farmland, food, and farmers. The magical Skagit River Valley is unique in producing so much of the United States's and worlds food (and flowers), but it is also a microcosm of the universal and worthy occupation of raising food. In Craig Barbers unforgettable book, we see how hard work, careful planning, and a love of the land combine to feed the world. Craig J. Barbers Where Our Food Comes From The Magic of Skagit Valley is an intimate;informative;and emotionally moving look into where and how our food is produced on small farms. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

    Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Ghosts in the Landscape: Vietnam Revisited Photos by Craig J. Barber, essay by Alison Devine Nordstrom Umbrage Editions 2006 HB First Edition Stated 112 pp. ISBN 1884167535 From the dust jacket: "Craig Barber's sumptuous platinum prints capture the exquisite beauty of the Vietnamese landscape while also serving as a visual diary of a veteran courageously returning to a place where he once witnessed absolute horror. Mostly un-peopled, Barber's pictures resonate with a tension between beauty and eeriness. When humans do appear they are ghosted, becoming poignant visual metaphors for the imprecision, yet persistence, of memory, as well as for the unfortunate souls forever lost to and scarred by the war." AS NEW, unread, in AS NEW dust jacket protected in archival mylar. Craig J. Barber (illustrator).…

Farming is labor intensive and repetitive throughout the seasons, and daily tasks are required to keep the crops thriving. Wanting to show the unique mechanics of farming and who is involved in tending and harvesting the foods we eat, Craig J. Barber has spent years visiting and photographing land and life on small mostly organic farms. He interviewed farmers, many of them third and fourth generation, whose stories are featured in these pages. He spent time with the field workers, not taking photos right away but gaining their trust. As a result of his persistence, Barber captures the physical demands and artistry of farming-field workers tossing cabbages up to another crew member in the back of a truck, a crew walking bent over behind a planter-tractor to make sure the seedlings are set correctly, the care and tenderness of those caring for livestock, the beauty of a kale field in the snow, and the drama of harvesting leeks on a winter night under a spotlight. Where Our Food Comes From is a book with many facets. Look at and savor the rich photographs. Read the farmers' stories. Study the facts and figures to expand your knowledge about farmland, food, and farmers. The "magical" Skagit River Valley is unique in producing so much of the United States's and world's food (and flowers), but it is also a microcosm of the universal and worthy occupation of raising food.
