Growing Roots is about a new revolution in food involving people living sustainable lives that revolve around healthy, natural food.  The book introduces farmers and beekeepers, fishermen and chefs, food activists and cheesemongers, and many more across the nation.  Also included are filmmakers, writers, and artists who are changing the way society eats and looks at food production.  Library Journal calls it “inspirational and entertaining reading.”  In this event, author Katherine Leiner will discuss meeting and profiling the diversity of participants, and photographer Andrew Lipton will display his stunning images of farms, food, and people.  In addition, Bees Without Borders founder Andrew Cote will add his perspective on beekeeping and teaching others to improve their lives with bees.
