Linked by Michael LevenstonAnimals, Food and Our FutureBy Abey Rae Scaglione, Ruckle Heritage Farm, 2025Excerpt:Part memoir, part homesteading guide, Radical Farm argues this is the case.
Drawing on a wealth of research and hands-on experience, author and farmer/rancher Abey Rae Scaglione recounts how her and her family make their living and their life raising animals and growing crops on a heritage farm on Salt Spring Island.
The best way to support animal welfare, she argues, is not by opting out of animal agriculture altogether, but by supporting farms demonstrating good management.
Radical Farm is also a guide to the basics of sustainably raising animals and growing plants.
With information on cattle, sheep, chickens, turkeys and gardening, this book also includes instructions on how to use and preserve food.
