Can You Survive Without A Grocery Store?
<Portland>, <OR>, <4/6/09> - Can you survive without a grocery store? Growing Food: A Guide for Beginners
answers with a resounding “YES”! Van Krevelen offers up a host of information that will teach readers how to plant,
harvest, prepare and store her list of top ten (okay, eleven) vegetables in simple terms and step by step instructions. But
the learning doesn’t end there. This book is full of opportunities for readers to connect with all kinds of resources across
the World Wide Web.
The author creates a 3-D Gardening Experience by connecting readers to Growing Food groups on Facebook, MySpace
and Gather. She also offers a list of favorite gardening, farming and foodie blogs. Readers can ask a real person (the
author or community members) gardening questions. The book is brought to life with links to various multimedia
resources, including podcasts and videos.
Van Krevelen understands the meaning of the word community. Her book contributors include the gardening
world’s best of the best, as well as everyday gardeners who are members of her groups. Noted garden
contributors include Margaret Roach, Amanda Thomsen, Mary Ann Newcomer, Susan Harris and Debra K.
Prinzing, author of Shed Style, who offers this glowing review.
“Just in time for planting season, Growing Food: A Guide for Beginners” delivers a bountiful crop of useful
advice and practical instruction. Jean Ann Van Krevelen and her posse of fellow organic gardeners deliver
food-growing information that will encourage anyone who hasn’t already started raising their own edible plants
to look at the yard, patio or window box in a new way.
Presented in an unconventional format (electronic and print on demand versions are available) “Growing Food”
will appeal to a whole new generation of would be gardeners who go to the web—first—when seeking
information, ideas and inspiration. They’ll find what they need right here.”
“Growing Food: A Guide for Beginners” is currently available on Kindle with a print version available April
15th, 2009. For additional information, contact Jean Ann Van Krevelen or visit www.gardenertofarmer.net.
