Why We Farm: Stories from the Farmers of Capay Valley

Join us for an enlightening evening with author, farmer and educator Elviria DiBrigit as she premieres her new book Why We Farm. In her book, DiBrigit shares stories about farmers from Capay Valley, including several who sell at our very own Berkeley Farmers Market!

Why We Farm is a book for people who want to know the whole truth about life as a modern day farmer. Each chapter features a different model of farming. Farmers share the stories behind their work and their lives on the farm; the business side of production, the personal challenges they face, and words of advice for the would-be-farmer. DiBrigit asks hard questions and gives a reverent yet realistic picture of a thriving local food system.

Light refreshments will be provided, including fresh produce samples from some of the farmers included in the book, courtesy of the Berkeley Farmers Market!

Join us at this free event, and reserve your spot here.
