Wenatchee, WA, "Apple Capital of the World." This pastoral Valley prospered for a century. Then orchardists by the thousands went out of business. After his father the dreaded foreclosure letter from the bank, Guy Evans set out on a journey of discovery to find out what went wrong. He witnesses small farmers forced off their land as they struggle to compete against the Goliaths dominating today’s global economy. Then Evans happens upon sustainable agriculture. Farmers are finding success by going against the grain of conventional agriculture. Their ideas could define a path of renewal that could save farmers across America. BROKEN LIMBS explores these hopeful stirrings within agriculture, and outlines ways in which any individual can play a role in saving America’s farmers. This solution applies to nearly any sector of the American economy troubled by the effects of consolidation and globalization.
