“I recently finished rereading ‘The Dirty Life,’ a memoir of an aspiring New York City journalist transplanted to the country to start a 500-acre farm from scratch. Author Kristin Kimball mixes the realism of building a farm and business with enough romanticism to leave me wanting to get my hands in the dirt. The sequel, ‘Good Husbandry,’ which details the ongoing challenges and victories of living and raising a family on a farm, is just as good. As a sustainable agriculture major, these books provided a great deal of perspective and inspiration.” – LILA GAUDRAULT, Cape Elizabeth
