Olive Post’s bucolic farm life is already off kilter when she finds a body in the beet field and suspects foul play.

When the coroner determines the death a suicide, her investigative instincts kick in. Her tenacious pursuit of evidence strains her marriage and places her young children in danger as she uncovers an ominous scheme that threatens her family and their livelihood.

Set on an organic farm in Santa Cruz, California, Beet Fields underscores the importance of vigilance in an era of insatiable corporate agribusiness. With unfaltering determination and courage, Olive confronts malevolent forces and struggles to restore the constancy in her home that she has worked diligently to create.
