An inspiring book that features 35 urban farmers from Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Stories, advice, and tips to help you succeed in growing food, raising animals, and building community. A follow-up title to the 2012 Nautilus Book Award-winning The Urban Farm Handbook. The burgeoning range of people now turning their urban backyards into homesteads is wide and varied, from families with young children, to immigrants recapturing their original culture, to idealistic twenty-somethings seeking community. Many of these farmers have a special lesson or inspiration to share with those who aspire to or simply appreciate the urban farm lifestyle. Backyard Roots is a unique project by California-based photographer Lori Eanes that evocatively and intimately explores the lives of 35 urban farmers in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
