review 1: I loved this book from start to finish due to, in no small part I'm certain, two things. First, I read it while vacationing in Paris, where everything automatically seems more magical. Second, a few years ago I discovered the joy of gardening and canning, so following Kristin Kimball's true-life tale of learning to farm the land and grow her own food spoke magic words to my heart. I also feel immense gratitude that I don't have to grow my own food and run a farm because that sounds like a lot of hard work!
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. I love the way the author lays it all bare and shows you exactly how fricken hard traditional (non fossil fuel based) farming is, especially for someone who had absolutely no prior experience of any type of farming. She w... moreas either brave or stupid, or perhaps a pleasant mix of the two.Either way, the book is well written and the narrative is quite fun. I felt it did drag on a little at the end and got a bit "preachy", but never-the-less, it was an excellent read and I was left with a desire to find my own farm. less

I don't normally read memoirs, and I read this one because I was trying to do some research on what life is like on a farm. Kristin Kimball manages to make it sound terribly romantic and totally unglamorous simultaneously... an impressive feat. I also LOVE how she describes the food they make (reminds me a bit of "Eat Pray Love" in that way), and I was intrigued by the romantic-yet-gritty-and-real way that she describes her love story with her husband. Definitely a good read for book clubs.

When the “city girl” author interviews a farmer, she finds herself in a life she never imagined. They fall in love, she leaves the city and they move to a neglected farm to start an organic co-op. She knows nothing about growing vegetables, raising pigs and cattle or driving horses. The house is such terrible shape, they are basically camping out. But the community embraces them and they are home.

This book was interesting and honest, I think I'm just burned out on this type of memoir.

Highly fascinating read for anyone interested in local food or living the dirty life.
