The Other 1%: The Story Of A Small Family Farm - Paperback

by Delbert R. Garrett Jr (Author)

As I watched the pile of dead birds grow larger, I realized our customers had no idea of the struggles associated with growing amazing food in a natural environment. Only after I buried the dead did I realize I needed to connect with consumers, bring to them this story of a contemporary small family farm...The Other 1% is the story of the hopes and dreams of a farmer trying to build a connection within the community while creating a robust food culture based on environmentally sound practices and great food. It is also about the sadness and depression associated with loss and failure and the love and family who make it possible to overcome the challenges. Author Delbert Garrett Jr. writes of a world few may know about: the difficulties of raising food in a natural world while hoping to create something new, meaningful, and full of life.
