The Seasons on Henry's Farm
by Terra Brockman
Not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to describe this book! Essays, all so short and often so heartbreaking--and beautiful--and majestic--and down to the earth just plain good! She describes all the stuff that goes into managing a sustainable, old-fashioned farm that supplies both a CSA and the local farmer's market. And it's a whole lot of hard work!
And rewarding work. And fun, back-breaking work that clogs your fingernails with soil and makes you really appreciate where that cellophane-wrapped produce ought to come from.
I recommend this to anyone, anywhere--and if you're a gardener, you just might learn something. The people are well-drawn and you just want to hug them all. And the author--I wish she could be my best friend.
With recipes, if you care about that sort of thing.
