Buttes

Decades before there was a name for it, Georgia Butte and her family followed the planetary health diet. Over the years, their farm became a hub of social activism and healing, and their growing habits produced pesticide-free fruits and vegetables that strengthened the health of the farm's family, friends, and customers. These habits also supported clean air and water and renewed, mineral-dense soil in a part of Ontario that has been called Canada's largest clear cut.

Georgia herself, a clairvoyant privy to the farm's human and greater-than-human secrets, attracts people longing to heal from whatever tragedies interrupt the flow of joy and meaning of their lives. Her story is, like so many others, little known because it is folded into "what passes for ordinary life" for so many of us. Open the pages of this book to enter her extraordinary and surprising world. When you do, you just may rediscover your own healing place, your own longing to dance slow, and your own unbreakable connection to the vast web of life that spins us all.
