Organic Futures

“This is some of the best text I’ve read on the evolution of organic agriculture in the U.S. By explaining the critical theories and placing a ‘real’ farm within these constructs, the authors provide an important analysis of a current topic missing from the literature.”—Leslie A. Duram, author of Good Growing: Why Organic Farming Works

~Leslie A. Duram

“A brilliant and readable discussion of the shift to, and struggle over, organics generally, and how it is experienced on one New England farm.”—Michael Goldman, author of Imperial Nature: The World Bank and Struggles for Social Justice in the Age of Globalization

~Michael Goldman

“Fitzmaurice and Gareau have achieved a solid ethnography of an organic farm in New England. An original contribution to the literature on the challenges and opportunities of organic farming.”—Molly D. Anderson, Middlebury College

~Molly D. Anderson

“Fitzmaurice and Gareau provide a long overdue engagement of the new relational approach in economic sociology with the topic of organic farming. Centered on a fascinating case study of a small New England family farm, they show how this expanding sector cannot be understood without attention to relational and moral concerns. A must-read for anyone interested in food, agriculture or economic sociology.”—Juliet Schor, author of Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth
