I noticed it was by the same author who's previous book, 'Good Husbandry' I'd given a firm pass. Several years later I came across a book titled 'Good Husbandry'. After seeing several reviews along those lines I decided to give 'The Dirty Life' a pass. A rich couple who know nothing try to start a farm, the language is obscene & the book is too whiny. At that time, the negative reviews painted a picture of exactly what I didn't want.
In a way, it is this simple if you pretend the labor involved in between doesn't exist.Īs with anything that catches my interest, I look for reviews. I didn't need to read another farm porn book with pretty pictures that set up the armchair farmer to believe that farming is really as simple as poking a seed in the ground & then you eat. I was looking for books about small farms whose owners choose to do it the old fashioned way.
When I first came across this book on amazon, I thought it might be interesting. The Dirty Life: A Memoir Of Food, Farming, And Love by Kristin Kimball
