Spring Gillard is a Vancouver writer and former advertising executive who one day saw the light and headed towards it.

She spent 14 years working at Vancouver’s City Farmer, gaining untold insight into compost, sustainability and all things organic.

She’s been a regular on CBC Radio, and has written numerous articles for Audubon, Organic Gardening, the Vancouver Sun and the Globe and Mail.

She’s best known though for her book Diary of a Compost Hotline Operator, Edible Essays on City Farming.

All that’s very impressive, but what prompted my phone call today was her article titled Embreaded.

It’s an homage to, of all things, bread, in particular Vancouver’s Terra Breads.
