Have you met our July Locally Grown featured business, Lisa Moser and Tumbledown Farm, yet? Lisa has shared 5 books to help you connect. Sometimes you need to connect; to yourself, to your loved ones, to your surroundings, to your community, to your purpose–something. Sometimes you don’t even know what it is until you re-connect to it.
Connect To Your Surroundings:
The Barns of Lake County
An influence in rehabbing our barns! Our little one is underway… trying to preserve the old with something inspired for the future.
Connect To Your Food:
A William Sonoma cook book that I love as it continues to teach me how to preserve some of what we pretend farmers try and grow here. The chutney recipes are my favorite, especially Stone-fruit and Curried Yellow Tomato Chutney.
Connect To Yourself:
This book is always by my night table and it is highlighted from head to toe. It helps me stay grounded in my journey in trying to grow a business and well, quite frankly, life in general.
Connect With Your Inner-Artist:
(and ultimately something deeper)
A dear friend gave me this book years ago when I was just trying to keep a journal. When we moved up here, I decided to keep it out and have continued to turn to it through out this process of starting a business. Cameron believes we all have an artist brain that is our “inventor” and gives simple examples of ways I can foster creativity that then spills over in so many positive ways, to all aspects of my life.
Connect With Your Surroundings And Food Sources:
The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food
This is what I am reading right now with my husband. We love exploring what’s new in the food world and Barber writes about a “radical new way of thinking about food that will heal the land and taste good too.” It’s fascinating and we keep thinking about how we might be able to grow something here. I have already learned not to weed clover from the garden, for clover does an amazing job of “grabbing nitrogen from the atmosphere and storing it in its roots, so it provides the soil with sugars, protein, and minerals.” Who knew?
Be sure to come by Monday to read about Genevieve’s experience at Tumbledown Farm.
