""This book, and the way Andrea and her family live and contribute to the world, is vital for humanity. People have lost their connection with how to grow, source, and prepare healthful food. Andrea uses her knowledge of vegetables, skills as a photographer, and abilities as a cook to provide the essential mentorship needed to overcome these barriers. With their youth and passion, they give me hope for the future."" -KAREN ANDERSON, founder and president of Alberta Food Tours and Taste Canada, World Gourmand and IPPY award-winning cookbook author

""Andrea's book offers something for everyone. It is a wealth of expertise on knowing, growing, harvesting and preserving vegetables with gorgeous photos that transport you to the farm. I'm excited to refer to it this growing season! Its organization is both intuitive and practical, making it easy to navigate. With the simple garden-to-plate approach, readers are guided not only to grow but also appreciate and enjoy the delicious, nutritious bounty of their gardens."" -JENNA HOBBS, founder of The Homegrown Sourcebook

""There is no better person to share the beauty of farm-to-table than Andrea. Her beautiful photography takes you straight to the farm, and she proves that seasonal eating doesn't need to be complicated. Whether you are a newbie gardener, experienced green thumb, or farmers market junkie, Fresh Grown offers practical tips for enjoying the goodness of garden veggies all year long!"" -ERIN WALKER, Canadian food photographer and recipe developer, creator of A Little Salt

Andrea Kristin and her husband have been growing vegetables on their organic market garden farm outside Edmonton, Alberta, for nearly a decade. They sell at farmers markets and feed their local community through their thriving CSA program (@greyarrowfarm). In this book, Andrea draws from her wealth of firsthand knowledge to walk the reader graciously through all the ways to use, store, and enjoy your vegetables. She shares a bounty of insightful information, including which parts of each plant are edible, how to use them, what to do with your excess, and the various ways to preserve each one- including freezing, waterbath canning, pressure canning, dehydrating, fermenting, and pickling- to last throughout the year.

Written, photographed, and designed by Andrea, this book is filled with firsthand imagery and knowledge direct from the farm. It is an essential guide for every home gardener, homesteader, CSA member, farmer's market frequenter- and anyone wanting to use and enjoy their vegetables to the fullest. Featuring over 50 types of vegetables (with applications for far more), from asparagus to zucchini and everything in between, it will help you reap maximum benefits, stretch your dollars, and make it all go farther than you ever thought possible while deepening your appreciation for nature's delicious bounty.
