Requests:  0 Summary:  From the celebrated author of the beloved bestseller The Dirty Life, a "beguiling memoir about the simple life" (Elle), Kristin Kimball describes the delicious highs and sometimes excruciating lows of life on Essex Farm--a 500-acre farm that produces a full diet for a community of 250 people. The Dirty Life chronicled Kimball's move from New York City to 500 acres near Lake Champlain where she started a new farm with her partner, Mark. In Good Husbandry, she reveals what happened over the next five years at Essex Farm. Farming has many ups and downs, and the middle years were hard for the Kimballs. Mark got injured, the weather turned against them, and the farm faced financial pressures. Meanwhile, they had two small children to care for. How does one traverse the terrain of a maturing marriage and the transition from being a couple to being a family? How will the farm survive? What does a family need in order to be happy? Kristin had chosen Mark and farm life after having a good look around the world, with a fair understanding of what her choices meant. She knew she had traded the possibility of a steady paycheck, of wide open weekends and spontaneous vacations, for a life and work that was challenging but beautiful and fulfilling. So with grit and grace and a good sense of humor, she chose to dig in deeper. Featuring some of the same local characters and cherished animals first introduced in The Dirty Life, (Jet the farm dog, Delia the dairy cow, and those hardworking draft horses), plus a colorful cast of aspiring first-generation farmers who work at Essex Farm to acquire the skills they need to start sustainable farms of their own, Good Husbandry is about animals and plants, farmers and food, friends and neighbors, love and marriage, births and deaths, growth and abundance.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Kimball Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 630.9747 Kimball Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 630.9747 Kimball Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 630.9747 Kimball Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 630.9747 Kimball Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 630.9747 Kimball Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
