I enjoyed this book. I was skeptical at first. I am a farmer that uses Draft Horses and usually books about farming and horses that main stream America likes are hokey and a bit hippy - ish. Although her husband, Mark, is a hippy and walks a little too much on the "free loving" side of society.

Her explanations on farm life is right on. The time spent on chores, the dwindling importance to other things going on in your life (laundry, mowing the yard, planning a wedding), and the sacrifices made.

I especially related to her, as I also did not grow up on a farm and was transplanted into the life. Choosing a relationship with someone and accepting their lifestyle along with it... making a new life together.

I very much liked this book and hope others find it interesting and perhaps even grow a new respect for those of us who choose this lifestyle.

I loved this book. It is right up there with Life on Henry's Farm by Terra Brockman and Animal, Vegetable Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. Well written and real.

This is an great book written about the author's first year of living on their organic farm & running a CSA. The author was a writer living in NYC when she met her to-be husband and decided to find and move to a farm with him!
