Book Launch | The Food Farm

Scorpio Books and Bateman Books warmly welcome you to the Ōtautahi Christchurch launch of The Food Farm by Angela Clifford and Nick Gill.

More than just a cookbook, The Food Farm is a glimpse into the lives of a family who grow and find most of their own food. Angela Clifford, Nick Gill and their children live on a 16-acre permaculture property in North Canterbury, New Zealand, where they help others embark on their food growing journeys via on-farm workshops and events.

All welcome, refreshments provided. 

ABOUT THE BOOK: Including a seasonal diary for sourcing your own fruit, vegetables, nuts, eggs, dairy, honey, meat from your own gardens, paddocks and from the wild, this gorgeous book also includes sensational recipes and preserves that allow you to get the most out of every harvest. Understanding the power of community sufficiency, Angela and Nick encourage us all, whatever our situation, to grow, find and cook more of our own food. The Food Farm is a vision for a healthier, more nurturing and connected way of living for ourselves and our planet.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS: 

Angela Clifford is the CEO of Eat New Zealand and co-owner of Tongue In Groove Wines. She lives on a 16-acre block in North Canterbury, the Food Farm, with her husband, Nick Gill, and three children, Ruby (18), Matilda (15) and Flynn (13). They share their space with two dogs, one cat and a menagerie of farm animals.
