FAC Library
We have a small library in our office that includes paper copies of the above publications, as well as other books, reports and DVDs that contain great information on gardening, soil building, greenhouse design, root cellaring, cooking and much more! We've collected these publications to be a public resource for those interested in building a more sustainable food system.

We meet at the EAC on the third Monday of every month at 5:30. We need new members committed to a vision of sustainability. And there is lots to do: research, education, organizing, lobbying. Get involved today!
