A broader picture of who grows our food

Through interviews with more than twenty women farmers, homesteaders, and policymakers, Rachel Sarah connects food production with questions of access, labor, equity, and climate consciousness. The profiles touch on undocumented workers, limited access to fresh produce in low-income neighborhoods, and community food advocacy. Hands-on projects, activities, and recipes extend the subject beyond the interviews, giving the book a practical dimension alongside its accounts of contemporary farming. Together, these elements frame agriculture not only as growing food, but also as a community issue shaped by who produces it and who can obtain it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Middle-grade readers interested in farming, food, and how communities access healthy food
  • Kids exploring climate-conscious agriculture, food justice, and women's work in farming
  • Readers who enjoy nonfiction that includes activities and recipes

Who grew the food you're eating for dinner? Most people don't know. Through interviews with more than twenty women farmers, climate journalist Rachel Sarah shares how modern farmers are changing the way we think about food production. Their stories include the struggles of undocumented workers, the shortage of fresh produce in low-income neighborhoods, and the food justice advocates who are feeding communities.

These remarkable women farm with a focus on equity and climate consciousness, renouncing the played-out image of the American farmer as Old McDonald. Learn about them and their mission in this middle grade nonfiction book alongside hands-on projects, inspirational activities, and even recipes.

Farmers being profiled include Suzanne Willow, Lanita Witt, Ivy Walls, Leah Penniman, Saara Nafici, Tepfirah Haana Rushdan, Kanchan Dawn Hunter, H. Nieto-Friga, Mar
