ABOUT THE BOOK

THE REAL DIRT by Peter Burkard

This book calls for a return to the fundamental American values which our society today seems to desperately need to rediscover:  frugal living, resourcefulness, the Golden Rule, and growing one's own food. 

A memoir is used as the context into which is woven inspirational wisdom, food growing how-to, and marvelous quotes from luminaries the author admires. 

Dreaming of a simpler but happier life, while longing to leave the world better than you found it?  Here is the inspiration to do all of that.
