Independent journalist Steven McFadden has been writing about the Earth, farms, and food for decades. With Trauger Groh, he is coauthor of the first two books on Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): Farms of Tomorrow: Community Supported Farms, Farm Supported Communities (1990) and Farms of Tomorrow Revisited (1998). He's also the author of The Call of the Land: An Agrarian Primer for the 21st Century and Awakening Community Intelligence: CSA Farms as 21st Century Cornerstones.He is the author of a contemporary epic, nonfiction saga of North America that is freely available online: Odyssey of the 8th Fire (www.8thfire.net).
