| Message | You are a CHAMPION! The things that you have done are amazing and you are the mother of the modern local food movement. It is never too late, the trends of our culture are ever-shifting and I believe we are on an upward shift! Ben |

| Message | I love your work and was wondering if you still do speaking engagements. I am the President of the Environmental Club at Ocean County College in Toms River, NJ. We are having an Earth Week celebration and would like to host some influential speakers. Your premise of eating locally is extremely important to me, and I would like to enlighten other students to their role. If you no longer accept speaking engagements, is there anyone you would recommend in the NJ area? If you would be willing to speak, what would your fees and availability be for April 16th-20th? Thank you for your time. Stephi Baumgartner |

| Message | I just read a article about your book "This Organic Life" and am looking forward to reading the book. I lived on a little quarter acre lot and have moved to a bigger place that will afford me the space to grow a much bigger garden. As I get closer to retirement I am looking at becoming more self suffcient. |

| Message | Joan, I just finished "This Organic Life - Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader". I thoroughly enjoyed the real life story of success and failure in the struggle with the elements of nature. It amazed me how you faced total destruction and still managed to be able to continue. Thank you for sharing so much disappointment and heartache and for displaying the over coming spirit in all the disappointing things that happened. Your ending chapter about the disappearing land in California and the demanding culture for food that we have become, opened my eyes about how we have become a consumer of food at any cost. It's become more about profit and not about sustainability. It's a little scary to think that we actually can't grow all of our own food any more. I am making an attempt to grow as much as I can. |

| Message | I found your book on the libary shelf. I'm going to order it so I can have it permanently on my bookshelf at home. Absolutely wonderful. I try to grow veggies/herbs in my increasingly shady backyard and find I can do it if I move containers around a bit...squash grows beautifully straight out of the compost pile...love the writings and look forward to more! Best, Lucinda |

| Message | Hi Joan, I read about you in Barbara Kingsolver's "Small Wonders" and immediately got your book from the library. It's inspiring and right on! We live on Orcas Island, north of Seattle, on the border of Canada. Many of us are growing our own food, supporting local farmers, and understanding the difference between food miles and food inches, feet, and yards. As we can, dry, freeze, and grow a greater percentage of our food, it is books like yours that serve as inspiration. Thanks and best to you! From Orcas Island, Didier Gincig |
