"Staying Home is a hymn to community and extended family,
to feeding ourselves locally in every sense, to gardening
and farming, clean air and water, and to home-grown foods,
free of chemical contamination. It's a story about hard work,
years of dedication, and getting things right. It gives me
heart, and leads me to feel better about the entire human
enterprise. Bravo!"
- William Kittredge
