When Kristin Kimball fell in love with a farmer and left behind her
life in Manhattan to start a new farm with him in the Adirondacks,
she had to learn a lot about farming - and fast. But, it turns out
that starting a farm is not as challenging as sustaining it. Over
the next five years, as two children are born and more land is
acquired, the farm has its ups and downs, but then the downs keep
on coming. Kristin's husband gets injured, the weather turns
against them, the financial pressures mount. Suddenly, Kristin is
facing not only the daily juggle of planting and milking and
putting dinner on the table, but bigger questions about the life
she has chosen. Is she still a farmer or is she now a farmer's
wife? What does the farm need in order to survive? What does a
family need in order to thrive? Beautifully written and
refreshingly honest, Good Husbandry is about farmers and food,
friends and neighbours, love and marriage, birth and death, and
about how to grow and harvest the good things in life.
