Backyard Roots | Events at Omnivore Books On Food

Join Lori Eanes to celebrate Backyard Roots: Lessons on Living Local from 35 Urban Farmers from 6-7 pm on Thursday, May 23, 2013.

Backyard Roots is a unique project by California-based photographer Lori Eanes that evocatively and intimately explores the lives of 35 urban farmers in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.

In these stories and photos, you’ll find people like Laura Allen, the Oakland-based cofounder of Greywater Action, a policy and education nonprofit that promotes the use of greywater systems. Or meet Jonathan Chen, a young cancer survivor who now manages the Danny Woo Community Gardens in south Seattle, where a group of Southeast Asian immigrants farm in a vibrant mix of cultures.
