What people are saying about 
"Growing Food in the Southwest Mountains."

"If every region in North America had a  handbook like this, we would be seven leagues ahead of where we now are in Permaculture education. The author and publishers are to be commended for creating a first-class resource."

— Cathy Holt, from her book review published in "The Permaculture Activist," Winter 2002/2003

“Lisa Rayner's new edition of this little masterpiece provides you with principles for living and eating in harmony with northern Arizona's natural habitats. It is a primer on how to change our food production and consumption strategies to sustain the natural and cultural heritage of our region. ”

 — Gary Nabhan Director, 
NAU Center for Sustainable Environments, from the preface

"Growing food in the southwest mountains is challenging 
— and requires a different set of tools than in other regions of gentler climate. Lisa Rayner's book is a very useful guide on how to apply ancient, traditional and modern permaculture and gardening techniques for successful production of nutritious and varied regionally-appropriate foods."

— Jan Busco, former horticulturist at the Arboretum at Flagstaff, 
now an independent landscaper, gardener and designer
