Description

"... eloquently captures the profound relationship between people and the natural world." -Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle and Last Child in the Woods "Skillfully crafted, poignant and lovely. This is a walking tour like you've never experienced-the living history of a classic New England farm, and its enduring importance for our shared, sustainable future." -Forrest Pritchard, author of Gaining Ground and Growing Tomorrow " ... intimate and meticulously researched. Birth, death, and even tractors can be frightening; yet on this small farm in Somerville, Maine, they can be magnificent as well." -John Bunker, Agricultural Historian and author of Not Far From the Tree "A moving and hopeful tale of what farming has been and can become." -John Piotti, president of Maine Farmland Trust and author of From the Land: Maine Farms at Work "A well-documented historical tapestry of the land and its surrounding community. Ever against a background of economic uncertainty, Kelly, Anil and their young children strive to keep their farm alive for a seventh (and maybe eighth!) generation." -C.R. Lawn, Founder of Fedco Seeds "... an eloquent and beautiful story that shows us what an important role the family farm plays in our economy and in our culture." -Congresswoman Chellie Pingree " ... skillfully captures and reveals the human spirit, and the essence of life and spirit nurtured by the land's bounty-it's place within their lives from the beginning of the available historical record to the present day." -Maine Senator Christopher Johnson
