I would also recommend anything by Joel Salatin (http://www.polyfacefarms.com/library.aspx http://www.polyfacefarms.com/library.aspx), who farms in Virginia (and was featured in Pollan's book). A quote from a Mother Jones interview: This fundamental understanding drives our production models. Herbivores in nature do not eat dead cows, chicken manure, dead chickens, grain or silage: They eat fresh or dried forage. Of course, what’s neat is that empirical data is discovering the nutritional and ecological benefits of this paradigm.

Whenever a new laboratory confirmation of our philosophy hits the news, we make sure our patrons know about it. In a word, this is all about healing: healing our bodies, healing our economies, healing our communities, healing our families, healing the landscape, healing the earthworms. If it’s not healing, it’s not appropriate.
