I highly recommend the book "The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love" by Kristin Kimball. In brief its about a couple who starts a CSA in Upstate New York. I found it fascinating.
Peace,

My BFF just sent this to me. I am really looking forward to checking it out! I am still searching this forum, but is there a book swap? :)

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Reading it now and so far I LOVE it. Prior to that I had read "Barnheart" by Jenna Wogenrich (spelling)-another excellent book!

there is no better real life read, than one that addresses the "Good, the Bad and the UGLY", so i will also look for this book to read...

I am in the midst of reading "The Dirty Life" now, and LOVE it! She is able to put such honest words to some of the same things I have felt in the past. This one is truly a must read!

That is one of my favorite books as well! Adored it. It doesn't sugarcoat the lifestyle at all. It seems so balanced between the joys and the heartbreaks involved. *adore*

I just received and email today, recommending this very book. After reading your posts, I believe I will. I read "The Feast Nearby" just a few weeks ago. It's a great read, too.

I read several "back to the land" books last year and this was one of my favorites! I thought she provided a very honest accounting of her journey---covering both the positive and negative aspects of their first year.
