Reviews
"Alan Guebert is one of America's finest writers on the workings and the politics of our food system. This book eloquently describes a rural way of life that's been lost. But the values of that world--family, community, social justice, a respect for the land--are timeless." --Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation "Alan Guebert, our most astute commentator on American farm and food policy, brings the same intelligence, sensitivity and humor to his own memories. In The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey, he's created an enduring portrait of a farm, and a family." --Dan Barber , "Alan Guebert is the rare writer who eloquently combines his personal story and journey with where agriculture is headed. With humor and honesty Guebert tells like it is--and gives his readers the tools to fight for a food and agriculture system that is fair for farmers and workers and safe and healthy for eaters. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to hear the story of food from someone who has been following it for the last three decades." --Danielle Nierenberg, President, Food Tank "As authentic, honest, accurate portrayal of farm life on an American dairy farm in the last half of the twentieth century as you can find anywhere." --Gene Logsdon, author of Gene Everlasting: A Contrary Farmer's Thoughts on Living Forever, "Guebert is an award-winning agricultural journalist... This is an eloquent collection of stories about life on his family's farm in southern Illinois during the 1960s and 70s."-- Edible Madison "Fun and lightly written... a loving examination of a place and time that have disappeared in the past half-century. The author reflects on hard work, a beloved family, and the often oppressive weather of America's heartland. This book is a good book for a rainy (or snowy) day."-- The Annals of Iowa , "Alan Guebert is the rare writer who eloquently combines his personal story and journey with where agriculture is headed. With humor and honesty Guebert tells like it is--and gives his readers the tools to fight for a food and agriculture system that is fair for farmers and workers and safe and healthy for eaters. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to hear the story of food from someone who has been following it for the last three decades." --Danielle Nierenberg, President, Food Tank, "As authentic, honest, accurate portrayal of farm life on an American dairy farm in the last half of the twentieth century as you can find anywhere." --Gene Logsdon, author of Gene Everlasting: A Contrary Farmer's Thoughts on Living Forever, "Alan is a rare gift to farmers and non-farmers alike since he provides down-home wisdom that helps us all make sense of the important, but often misunderstood food and farm issues. The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey is a treasure--the best of the best."--Fred Kirschenmann, author of Cultivating an Ecological Conscience, "The romance of farm life and the reality of farm life have very little in common. Alan Guebert's The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey delves into life on Indian Farm in Illinois during the fifties, sixties and seventies. . . . Guebert tells intimate stories of his youth, tied up in hard work and sacrifice." --Los Angeles Magazine, "A wonderful piece of work. It's authentic and highly descriptive without being smothered in adjectives. It's also personal and reflective without being overly sentimental. A celebration of a life well lived even if some day-to-day aspects of that life were challenging and exhausting."--Fred Myers, winner, Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Agriculture Editors' Association, "Alan Guebert, our most astute commentator on American farm and food policy, brings the same intelligence, sensitivity and humor to his own memories. In The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey, he's created an enduring portrait of a farm, and a family." --Dan Barber, "Guebert is an award-winning agricultural journalist...

Alan Guebert's The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey delves into life on Indian Farm in Illinois during the fifties, sixties and seventies. . . .

In The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey , he's created an enduring portrait of a farm and a family."--Dan Barber, chef and co-owner, Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns " The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey is a memoir, the recollections of a farm boy who grew up and had experiences so much like my own that it is scary. That is by way of saying that it is as authentic, honest, accurate portrayal of farm life on an American dairy farm in the last half of the twentieth century as you can find anywhere."--Gene Logsdon, author of Gene Everlasting: A Contrary Farmer's Thoughts on Living Forever, "As authentic, honest, accurate portrayal of farm life on an American dairy farm in the last half of the twentieth century as you can find anywhere." --Gene Logsdon, author of Gene Everlasting: A Contrary Farmer's Thoughts on Living Forever "Alan Guebert is one of America's finest writers on the workings and the politics of our food system.
