"This is the real life, real time, real personal story of a true pioneer who rode the organic wave from the grass roots movement it once was, into the legislative hard core battlefield of government regulation and rule making process. Grace contributed to, and survived the journey of the creation of “organic” as we know it today. Hers is a compelling tale of the inner workings of the organic community and the organic industry and the processes and characters involved." - Howie Ross, aka "Mr. Awganic" "Grace Gershuny, a founding member of the American organic agriculture movement and a long-time organic farmer, has written a thoughtfully comprehensive, entertaining, and deeply personal account of her adventures in the movement and on the land. Like that of most revolutionaries, Grace Gershuny’s journey has been long and complicated, with exhilarating highs and inevitable disappointments over time. Her story is an important one and her ultimate conclusions, along with her hopes for the future, are optimistic for the new generation of organic farmers." - Reeve Lindbergh, author Under a Wing "This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the events and ideas pivotal to the growth of the organic sector in the US."
