Quinn holds book signing in Havre tonight

Big Sandy organic farmer and businessman Bob Quinn will be speaking about his book “Grain by Grain” along with co-author Liz Carlisle tonight at Montana State University-Northern.

The public is invited to the event, which will take place at Vande Bogart Library 6:30 to 8 p.m.

The book is part biography, part history lesson on farming practices and policies, part revelation of food and agriculture production industry practices, and part tutorial on rural business and community building.

Quinn’s book covers a wide range of topics on, as the Kamut farmer said, his “quest to revive ancient wheat, rural jobs, and healthy food.”

He will speak on these topics and the lessons he learned throughout a lifetime of farming and pursuit to better understand the science of plants and agriculture.

Carlisle, author of “Lentil Underground,” said she and Quinn have been traveling around the U.S. promoting the book since just before its release March 6, and she will be introducing Quinn at the Havre event.

Both authors will be answering questions at the end of Quinn’s presentation.
