I just finished a book I think you'll enjoy. It's Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I've enjoyed her novels, but this one is nonfiction, about food and farmers and why we should grow and eat organic food. They live on a farm (in Virginia, I think), and decided for one year to eat only food that was produced locally, including a lot that they grew themselves.
I usually lose interest in nonfiction books, but this one was really interesting and well written to someone who knew nothing at all about the subject. It wasn't preachy or too unrealistic, although I thought her children did seem unnaturally cooperative. But maybe that's just me. It includes some good recipes, too.
