The Seasons on Henry’s Farm:
A Year of Food and Life on a Sustainable Farm
by Terra Brockman

We will be discussing Terra's new book of engaging family stories, literary and scientific reflections, and week-to-week farm events, The Seasons on Henry’s Farm is a mindful and mouthwatering invitation to eat great food grown by people near you. By taking readers on a journey through a year in the life of small-scale farmers committed to producing healthy, nutritious food in a way that enriches the land for generations to come, Terra Brockman appeals to all who not only eat to live, but who live to eat.

Terra Brockman was raised in central Illinois and formerly lived and worked as a teacher, writer, and editor in Japan and New York City for fifteen years, with time out to travel extensively. In 2001, she founded The Land Connection, a nonprofit working to save farmland, train new sustainable farmers, and connect consumers with fresh local foods.

About Re-Thinking Soup:
Every Tuesday from 12:00-1:30pm, the Hull-House Museum hosts a modern day soup kitchen that is a public and communal event where we gather together and eat delicious, healthy, soup and have fresh, organic conversation about many of the urgent social, cultural, economic and environmental food issues that we should be addressing.

Jane Addams was the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize and worked on many issues in her life to create the conditions of peace to flourish. We meet in the historic Residents' Dining Hall, where Upton Sinclair, Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois, Gertrude Stein and other important social reformers met to share meals and ideas, debate one another, and conspire to change the world. Activists, farmers, doctors, economists, artists, and guest chefs join us each week to present their knowledge, ideas and projects and foster a space where we can move toward solutions.

The mission for the farm reflects our belief that monocultures are undesirable and dangerous for the environment and that promoting a pluralistic society is essential for a healthy democracy. The Heirloom Farm at the Hull-House Museum affirms the link between a healthy, diverse bio-culture that is sustained by varieties of heirloom fruits and vegetables, and a vibrant and diverse culture in society, promoted by artisans, farmers, ethnic restaurants and markets and by the people who support these spaces.

YES WE CAN!
