A Memoir about Leaving the City Behind for Life on a Farm, For Fans
of Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and James
Rebanks's The Shepherd's Life In a world increasingly filled with
questions of where our food comes from and dissatisfactions about
our modern lives, Country Grit is a story that will resonate with
countless people itching to get back to the land. Told with humor
and hard-earned wisdom, it is also an account of what small-scale
farmers across the country experience every day. Scottie Jones
lived a typical suburban, professional life in Phoenix until her
husband, Greg, got into a near-fatal car accident. While
recovering, he became convinced that they needed a change to a
simpler way of life, more connected with nature and each other. So,
driven by a desire to cut ties with a material and convenient
suburban life that had left them feeling empty, they bought a
peaceful-looking farmhouse on sixty acres in Oregon and said
good-bye to everything they knew. But the road to pastoral bliss is
fraught with hardship, mishap, and financial risk. When the burden
becomes almost too much, Scottie hits on the idea of creating a
Farm Stay, where people could visit and learn about Leaping Lamb
Farm. The Farm Stay becomes the niche that rescues them from
foreclosure. Having found a sense of purpose and a sense of place,
the couple now had the means to sustain it. This edition includes a
new foreword by Joel Salatin.
