I had no expectations of this book. None. I was very happy to discover that I loved the author's voice. The writing style and tone sucked me in and I had trouble putting it down. It took me a couple of days ; for some reason the kids wanted to eat and I needed sleep otherwise I would have finished this in one sitting. It was that good.
The book is a story of how this farmer:
1. decides to become a farmer
2. his total lack of farming experience
3. learns to be a farmer through experience, reading and a conference
4. learns to use what he has
5. become a fantastic organic farmer
6. promote other local farmers
I learned so much from this book. While the book isn't a how to book, it provides a lot of information on how he does things on his organic farm. The book isn't dry though, including some comical situations - almost being killed by a pig - that leave you smiling. This is a must read for anyone who is interested in raising organic meat or for anyone who likes farming memoirs.
If you have read it, what do you think?
