The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love
New York City freelancer went to Pennsylvania to interview a farmer; she ended up moving with him to upstate New York, where they created Essex Farm, devoted to local and healthy food. This marvelous book chronicles the trials, joys, and hardships.
Orion columnist Bill McKibben said of this book “The Dirty Life is a wonderfully told tale of one of the most interesting farms in the country. If you want to understand the heart and soul of the new/old movement towards local food, this is the book you need. It’s the voice of what commes next in this land, of the generation unleashed by Wendell Berry to do something really grand.”
