On Farming, Food, and Love
by Kristin Kimball
Not for the squeamish.
No, seriously--farming isn't all about bovine contentment and clucking chickens and ripe red tomatoes eaten straight off the vine. Food isn't all about a well-stocked grocery store with forty-one varieties of imported Balsalmic Vinegar. And love isn't easy.
All the same you can hear the love singing through every page. Farming is hard and rewarding and gets under your skin. Ms. Kimball pulls no punches, spares us no gory detail...nor beautiful one, either. Her farming live grows on her, and with it, she grows too.
To sum up: great book; I kind of want to give it five stars and I definitely want to read it again.
(As soon as I forget the scary parts.)
