Temra Costa cooks, gardens and serves as an advocate for farming and food. She is also is the author of the new book and movement known as FARMER JANE.

In her new book, readers learn that women are one of the fastest-growing demographics to own and operate farms in the United States and that they are tending towards diversified, direct-marketed foods that create relationships with the people that Temra indentifies simpy as, eaters.

Press material that accompanied my review copy of Farmer Jane describes Temra and her work as follows:

Costa was intrigued by the number of women engaged in food and farming through her professional career as a sustainable food and farming advocate with the Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF), in California. With a thirty percent increase in women farm operators from 2002 – 2007, along with increases in women-owned businesses and involvement in government, the feminine voice in food and farming is starting to be heard. Farmer Jane is a compelling and empowering look at how communities, businesses and homes can be enriched by the sustainable food movement. Enlightened by the lessons and trials of women farmers, chefs, advocates and educators, Farmer Jane gives information and support to anyone wishing to become involved.
