Dirt to Soil coverThe selection for our October 27th* meeting is Dirt to Soil: One Family’s Journey Into Regenerative Agriculture by Gabe Brown.

He’s a local musician and runs a company called Reusable Solutions whose mission is to get the world to break free from fossil fuels and eradicate single-use plastic. He reads a lot of sustainability books and is excited to discuss them with others!
