We first found Novella via an article in the NY Times, about a rabbit butchery class that she held in Brooklyn. We were inspired by the idea of raising, butchering, and processing our own rabbit as a way to get a little closer to our food source. So when we decided to give it a shot, Novella's book was a natural first read. Her compassion, humor, pragmatism, and thoughtful musings about her urban farm efforts is a delight to read, and so completely relevant to anyone who is attempting to better understand our place on the food chain. And the of joy and pleasure that food can offer - raising, growing, eating, sharing - is certainly not lost on her, but truly enhanced by understanding where it all comes from. Loved her writing, and love what she is doing. Hooray Novella!
