Below is the first local book release event in Reisinger's home town in Spring Green, WI also in Sauk County where Farmer Angel Network was founded. The event had such an outpouring of interest it had to be moved to high school. The book's first release has had such interest that the first release sold out within two days of release.
At the August event, Daniel Smith, another local poet, essayist, public speaker and agribusiness executive, facilitated a conversation with Reisinger discussing his family's experience, agriculture economics, and the survival of our food system.
Arcadia Books hosted the event and announced that they would donate a portion of all of Reisinger's book sales from the store to Farmer Angel Network. You can order for shipping or pickup at the store at the link here.
