Top Farm-Fresh Books to Give This Holiday Season

The holidays are upon us and you may be looking for that “special something” to give as a gift.
Why not give a book that will help the recipient live a farm-fresh lifestyle?
I love to give and receive books because they are actually the gift of transformation. Many times they start a journey for the reader that can be life-changing.
Who doesn’t want that, right?
I put together a listing of my favorite books that can help someone take one more step into a farm-fresh life. This journey can be a gift you give away or you buy for yourself.
Just share the link as your wish list!
Each of the following books are EXCEPTIONAL. No fluff.
They are filled with solid information and inspiration that is simply packaged into a book form.
Some of these books are new, others were published in previous years. But ALL are among my favorites.
To be honest, it was hard to narrow down the list to just nine. There were about 10 others I wanted to include! But I needed to keep the list manageable so as not to overwhelm you.
This list is a good start.
Some of the authors have been interviewed on the Living Homegrown Podcast. So if you want to hear more about their books and their work, I’ve included links to the respective episodes below.
Here they are…In no particular order:
