They show how each uprising is helping to build a more sustainable agriculture that is all about community resilience and local food security...Uprisingsprovides lots of loaves of inspiration and knowledge to enable you and your community to join the revival of small-scale grain production. ---Dan Jason, owner of Salt Spring SeedsFor those of us who are convinced that food independence is the key to preserving personal freedom as well as political and economic freedom,Uprisingsis an extremely important book about the cultural and economic situation society faces today. ---Gene Logsdon, author of some 30 books, the latest beingThe Eternal Garden, due out next spring, 2014InUprisings, McLeod and Simpson reveal not only their passion for locally grown food, and in particular grains, but a compelling case for home gardeners to think of grain crops as they do traditional garden vegetables...They provide a plan for all of us, from backyard gardeners to small organic growers, to discover for ourselves free and sustainable access to a commodity that industry might normally remove from our reach. In Uprisings, a new standard has been set on the topic of growing, harvesting, and processing grains, and the Field-to-Table movement is stronger because of this book.---Mark Macdonald, West Coast Seeds
