Equal parts historical document, confessional memoir and social critique, this book tells the story of "Sunroot Gardens," a bicycle-based urban farming operation that author founded and cultivated in Portland, Oregon, in the early 2000's. Made famous by the local media-including the Willamette Week, Sellwood Bee, Portland Monthly, KBOO, Oregonian and In Good Tilth-Sunroot Gardens blazed trails and pushed boundaries. The text is drawn from the author's voluminous writings at the time and has been supplemented with freshly composed narrative, commentary and analysis.
