Island Farming: History and Landscape of Agriculture in the San Juan Islands - Paperback

by Boyd C. Pratt (Author)

A free-ranging pig that caused a international war; a year's crop of ginseng that paid off the mortgage; and a breachy cow that led to bloody murder. Farming in the San Juan Islands has always presented challenges and opportunities. From Coast Salish camas cultivation through homesteading to commercial farming, explore the islands' rich agricultural history in the landscape and farms of today.
