Abstract:

When Kingsolver and her family move from suburban Arizona to rural Appalachia, they take on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. "Our highest shopping goal was to get our food from so close to home, we'd know the person who grew it. Often that turned out to be ourselves as we learned to produce what we needed, starting with dirt, seeds, and enough knowledge to muddle through. Or starting with baby animals, and enough sense to refrain from naming them."--From publisher description.

Lyrical prose and luscious food

Two words: turkey sex.

Barbara Kingsolver is hands down my favorite modern author. She uses the most beautiful prose--vivid and lyrical--to write stories and characters that come to life, no matter whether she's writing fiction or nonfiction.

In Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, Kingsolver tells the story of her family's decision to deliberately buy, grow, and eat only food produced in the vicinity of their farm in southwestern Virginia. The idea is to eat seasonally and get off the petroleum-fuel-dependent global food system with its gigantic carbon footprint and devastating environmental consequences. They aren't quite as strict about defining "local" as were the authors of Plenty: one man, one woman, and a raucous year of eating locally. But Kingsolver's family lives on a small farm where they can grow much of their own produce and raise--and slaughter--their own poultry, so they have a head start in the "local" department.

Barbara wrote the bulk of the book, while her husband, Steven Hopp, wrote sidebars filled with related facts & figures, and her daughter, Camille Kingsolver, contributed the sections about meal plans and recipes. The sidebars were really interesting (if sometimes a scary reality check), despite my irritation that they interrupted the flow of the story. I only wish I were a competent enough cook to attempt some of Camille's recipes. (What does "braise" actually mean & how do you do it?)

I already miss having my own vegetable garden, and this book is inspiring me to plan how I can carve out space to grow much of my own produce in the back yard I now have. I can spend this winter poring over online heirloom seed catalogs and drawing diagrams, just like my father used to do (and maybe still does?) with roses and flowerbeds.

And as for the turkey sex...well, let's just say that Barbara's evocative description of the trials and tribulations of mating teenage turkeys had me laughing 'til my face hurt.

Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle chronicles one year of Kingsolver’s life as she strives to eat only locally grown and raised animals and vegetables. The book also contains essays by Camille Kingsolver and Stephen Hopp, Kingsolver’s daughter and husband. The book harshly critiques the American food industry; but also revolves around telling the story of an American family trying to get back to their roots. Inserted into the text are various recipes which highlight the foods which are in season. Through this book, Kingsolver and her family demonstrate a love of food, family, and the earth.According to Kingsolver, huge quantities of money are spent shipping food all across the world in order to eat foods out of season. She explains her sorrow as she realizes most Americans have lost touch with where their food comes from. Yet this book seeks to remind readers of their own connection to the earth and to the foods we eat, and to remind us of the farming tradition that we are letting slip away. The vendors at Farmer’s Market’s and the farmers of free range meat are the heroes in this book. Kingsolver succeeds on showing the reader that a person doesn’t need to grow their own food to make a difference, change can come about by the way we shop, the food choices we make, and even by changing the way we think about food. After reading this book, it will be impossible to look at a tomato without remembering the labor involved as well as the miracle that takes place during the journey from a seed to a person’s plate.
