“Where Our Food Comes From: The Magic of Skagit Valley” is an eye-opening experience as Craig J. Barber combines his photos with interviews to give the reader a glimpse as to what day to day looks like on a farm in America. We see the implementation of technology, the impacts of climate change, and the human connection that brings the food we eat from the seed to table.

From author John Seibert Farnsworth: “Barber isn’t merely documenting the act of farming—he is highlighting the care, struggle, and artistry that takes place in the fields and barns. This struggle is often heroic, as is the level of attention to and love for the land and those who work it. isn’t merely documenting the act of farming—he is highlighting the care, struggle, and artistry that takes place in the fields and barns.
