Seeding Hope

In Seeding Hope, Jack Algiere, Chief Agroecology Officer (CAO) at Stone Barns, shares the wisdom he's gained in a lifetime of farming, growing, and observing the natural world.

This luminous book is directed not just to farmers, but for all who desire a more connected and meaningful life. By following and examining the stages of a plant's life cycle, Seeding Hope explores how this botanical pattern is a vital blueprint, offering lessons that inform all aspects of our lives.

"[Algiere] is a brilliant farmer because he's a brilliant observer; he's spent a lifetime letting plants teach him how to see. In prose as attentive, searching, and grounded as his farming, Jack gathers those lessons into something rare and resonant: a portrait of the natural world as teacher, and an ethic for how to live, drawn from the ground up.
