dicentra,
I have not read the book. This is what seattlepi.com had to say about it.
FIELDS THAT DREAM

By Jenny Kurzweil. Fulcrum Publishing, 179 pages, $14.95

A former Seattleite who now lives in Santa Cruz, Calif., pens an engaging and informative look at the small farmers who grow and sell their foodstuffs at this city's beloved University District Farmers Market. There may be some debate over whether this handsome paperback is, as the publisher claims, "the first book completely devoted to exploring the lives and experiences of small-scale sustainable farmers." But Kurzweil's visits with these farmers provide a stirring testament to their dedicated toils.

Hope this helps
Eric
