Kristeva Dowling- The Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my new blog! To view past posts, please click here.

Until recently, I lived on a small mixed
farm on the west coast of British Columbia in a remote First Nations
village town. In 2008, I quit my job, returned to the farm and committed
to a project that I have dreamed  of attempting for several years. That
is, to provide all the food we will eat for a year. This will entail
growing vegetables, raising meat animals, fishing, and learning to
hunt.  At the time, I did not have an agricultural background, but knew
that farming is in my blood. It is almost all I can think about. If I
won the lottery, I would buy a large farm or ranch and spend the rest of
my life spending the money farming!

In June 2011, the book that I wrote
about the experience was published by Caitlin Press.
It is called Chicken Poop For The Soul: in search of food
sovereignty.

I have a Master’s Degree in Social
Science with a background in Community Development. I call myself a ‘Food Provisionist’. I now live in Grande
Prairie, Alberta.

My book is finally complete and in stores near you!

Well it’s taken a long time for me to get this book finished but it’s finally done and out in the stores for sale! This is thanks to the hard work of the Caitlin Press Publishing crew. I am very happy with how it turned out. Vici (the owner of Caitlin Press) said she wanted to try to get it in color but was not sure it would be possible. But she managed the impossible and it looks great. There are many color photos inside that illustrate what I was up to. Some you will have seen on this blog and some are new.

It was a nice surprise to wake up to a box of my very own book on my front porch last week. Even funnier surprise to hear that my mum bought a copy for my dad for Father’s Day!
