Silicon Valley Reads: Author Jonah Raskin (public event)

Join us at Campbell Library for this special presentation! Jonah Raskin will speak about his book Field Days: A Year of Farming, Eating, and Drinking Wine in California.

Part memoir, part vivid reportage, Field Days chronicles the renaissance in farming organically and eating locally that is unfolding in Northern California. Jonah Raskin tells of the year he spent on Oak Hill Farm – working the fields, selling produce at farmers' markets, and following it to restaurants. He also goes behind the scenes at Whole Foods. In this luminous account of his experiences, Raskin introduces a dynamic cast of characters - farmers, chefs, winemakers, farm workers, and environmentalists.
