Over the last few years, Hardwick, Vermont, a typical hardscrabble farming community of 3,000 residents, has jump-began its economy and redefined its self-image through a local, self-sustaining food system unlike anything else in The us. Whilst the up to date financial downturn threatens to cripple small businesses and privately owned farms, a stunning number of food-based businesses have grown in the region. The Town That Food Saved is rich with appealing, colorful characters, from the optimistic upstarts creating a new agricultural model to the long-established farmers wary of the rapid change in the region.

Hewitt, a journalist and Vermonter, delves deeply into the repercussions of this groundbreaking approach to growing food, both its astounding successes and potential limitations. The captivating story of an unassuming community and its bizarre determination to build a vibrant local food system, The Town That Food Saved is grounded in ideas which will revolutionize the way we eat and, fairly perhaps, the way we are living.
