‘Unlikely Vineyard’ is Text for Food For Thought on Oct. 4

The Food for Thought Book Club is reading “An Unlikely Vineyard: The Education of a Farmer and Her Quest for Terroir” by Deirdre Heekin.
The book will be discussed Wednesday, Oct. 4, at 6 p.m. in the Gozzer Room.
Named one of the Best Wine Books of 2014 by The New York Times, “An Unlikely Vineyard” tells the evolutionary story of Heekin’s farm from overgrown fields to a fertile, productive, and beautiful landscape that melds with its natural environment.
It also presents, through the example of their farming journey and winegrowing endeavors, an impressive amount of information on how to think about almost every aspect of gardening: from composting to trellising; from cider and perry making to growing old garden roses, keeping bees, and raising livestock; from pruning (or not) to dealing naturally with pests and diseases.
Held in partnership with the Inland Northwest Food Network, discussions are open to anyone interested in the science, cultivation, and preparation of food.
Upcoming titles and their discussion dates include: “An Unlikely Vineyard: The Education of a Farmer and Her Quest for Terroir” by Deirdre Heekin, Oct. 4; “Salt, A World History” by Mark Kurlansky, Nov. 1; and “My Organic Life” by Nora Pouillon, Dec. 6.
