Fascinated by farming and the burgeoning local food movement, she spent her twenties wandering the Pacific Northwest, interning at small farms and doing graduate work in horticulture, always with an eye towards learning as much as she could about how and why people farm. Despite numerous setbacks and the many challenges of farming, she created a family and farm life defined by resilience and a genuine love of the land. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eA Little Bit of Land, \u003c\/i\u003e Gigot explores the intricacies of small-scale agriculture in the Pacific Northwest and the changing role of women in this male-dominated industry. Gigot alternates between chapters describing joys, routines, and challenges of farm life and chapters reflecting on her formative experiences in agriculture, on farms and in classrooms from Ashland to the Skagit Valley. Throughout, she explores questions of sustainability, economics, health, and food systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Gigot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870712136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870712135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oregon State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Jessica Gigot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075446829311,"sku":"9780870712135","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87bd25f3-b4b3-442c-ad9c-0714a501ffee.jpg?v=1685459474","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-little-bit-of-land-jessica-gigot-9780870712135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
