“The Real Dirt” Local Food Book Discussion:

A two-part book discussion

Rye Public LIbrary, Rye, NH

Wednesdays, May 11th & 18th, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Meet the author John Carroll on Wednesday, May 18th

“The Real Dirt” Local Food Book Discussion is a two-part book discussion which will be held on Wednesdays, May 11th & 18th, at the Rye Public Library, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Meet the author John Carroll on Wednesday, May 18th at Rye Public Library.

Do you want to get your hands in the real dirt of bringing back locally grown food? UNH Professor of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation John Carroll has written three books on sustainable farming in New England. He is the recognized expert in the field and has visited countless local farms and gardens during his extensive research.

Come discuss his most recent book, The Real Dirt: Toward Food Sufficiency and Farm Sustainability in New England, which is most relevant to local growing, in the first of a two part discussion on May 11th, 6:30–7:30 p.m. at Rye Public Library.  Then, on Wednesday, May 18th, 6:30–7:30 p.m., John Carroll will join the second group session to answer questions and continue the discussion!

This is a great chance to dig deep in the rich soil of the current renaissance in New England agriculture. Sign up for this two session discussion in the Library and receive a summary of Carroll’s first two books. The discussion book: “The Real Dirt” ($15) will be available for sale at the library when the sign up roster is finalized.
