A Memoir of Farming, Food, and Love
Kristin Kimball

I couldn't put this book down, and my daughter -- a devotee of local food and sustainability -- couldn't wait to get her hands on it. Kimball's writing is engaging, funny, honest, and hopeful. She writes in a ''juicy'' way that feeds the senses and is deeply fulfilling.

I loved that her story evokes the same longing in the reader that she had -- to get back to a life lived closer to the ground, where true nourishment and connection can be found.

Kimball went from being a single New York City freelance writer who barely boiled eggs to a happily married woman who now plows fields with draft horses and cooks meals for many on the sustainable farm she and her husband work together (which includes raising and killing animals for food). It is such a pleasure to read Kimball's story -- how she went one day, in tight designer jeans, to interview an eccentric young farmer who was dedicated to growing vital, healthy food. She became swept up not only in the strange farmer's vision, but also in him, in his ability to cook delectable meals that made her body sing, and in his passion and innate understanding of what truly matters in life.

Their story is the stuff of fairy tales, but with a lot of hard work and reality thrown in -- a wonderful combination that makes dreams feel truly possible. You won't find a more pleasurable or more nourishing read.
