We would like to dedicate this book to our mentors: Tina Baynes, Rebecca Jehn, and Mary Alice Johnson, for showing us the way and leading by example. We have always known we were standing on your shoulders, and we are grateful. We’d also like to acknowledge our long-standing box customers, market regulars, and farm customers. Thanks for sharing the joy of our bounty—you make it possible.

I would like to dedicate this book to all the people who have made the farm what it is today. First and foremost, to my parents for believing in me and for being my first farmhands—the best I’ll ever have. To all the friends, volunteers, and farmhands who have come out and lent a hand, you have enriched my life and continue to be sources of inspiration. —Robin

I would like to thank my parents for their love and support, and my Aunt Jane and Uncle Brian for their pivotal role in making Northbrook Farm a reality. I dedicate this book to Lamont, without whom this farm, this family, and this life would not be possible. —Heather

I would like to dedicate this book to my dad, who has always been supportive even though I didn’t become a doctor or a lawyer. To my mom, who understands my passion and helps in so many large and small ways. To my partner, Grant, who is the solid ground when everything else is in flux. To my kids, who have enriched my life in countless ways. Above all, though, this book is for the Earth, who just keeps on giving and giving. —Rachel
