Here’s one can’t-miss event for those of you interested in food (and really, who isn’t, right?)  Houston’s own Pam Walker will be gracing Brazos Bookstore on August 23^rd from 4-6 pm for release of her new book, Growing Good Things to Eat in Texas:  Profiles of Organic Farmers and Ranchers across the State.

As if that wasn’t fun enough, there will be food, glorious food from such renowned Chefs as Randy Evans, Ryan Pera of The Grove and Randy Ruckner of Rainbow Lodge as they give demonstrations. To represent the other end of the food cycle, local farmers will be attending, including two of the eleven featured in Pam’s book. The Houston Farmers’ Market and Slow Food Houston are also participating and St. Arnold is generously providing beer and root beer. Sounds delicious!

Here’s what a few readers are saying about Growing Good Things to Eat in Texas: Profiles of Organic Farmers and Ranchers across the State :

“Pamela Walker shows that good food comes from good people who’re willing to work together to build a viable, grassroots alternative to industrialized, corporatized, globalized ‘food.’”-Jim Hightower, editor, Hightower Lowdown

“. . . an important, timely, and beautiful book. . . tells a new and hopeful story.”-Peter Brown, photographer

“Walker gives ’sustainable’ and ‘organic’ agriculture a regional and personal face. . .”-Cheryl Hazeltine, co-author, The Central Texas Gardener

Come join us at Brazos Bookstore for a must-read for everyone concerned about the quality and production of our food now and in the future!
