Publisher's Synopsis
Words like Slow', Real' and Honest' describe the food people want, in contrast to what they feel they normally get in the supermarket. They want to know where their food comes from, that it has been grown organically and treated well, preferably close to home. That is why they go to farmers' markets and organic food shops, and why growing your own food has become important again. Gabriella Gomersall-Hubbard's story of Lina and Tony Siciliano's enterprise reveals it as the embodiment of these ideas and living proof that such pursuits can build both a profitable business and a healthy and intensely satisfying way of life. Features: Grape growing & wine-making; Olive growing, preserving & olive oil; Tomatoes & Big Tomato Day; Vegetable growing & preserving; Sausage-making & traditional recipes; Festivals & farmers' markets.
