Better late than never I guess!! As many of you know the last few weeks have been a little crazy on The Freckled Farm. Between the babies being born, everyday farm chores, shows, farmer markets, the photography business, and raising two little ones of our own, our heads are spinning… and I’m not sure it’s going to slow down anytime soon (nor do I want it too). I’m now playing catch up and just getting around to writing this months book club post. I will also get back on track with our “What’s up Wednesday” post this week as well.
Our April First Friday Book Club book is The Dirty Life: A memoir of Farming, Food, and Love by Kristin Kimball!
The Dirty Life is another one of those stories where a city girl drops everything to move to a farm and live off of the land. In this particular book Kristin comes to this life change after meeting her future husband, Mark, when she was sent to interview him about his farm and CSA. They quickly fall in love and begin a journey to live off the land and leave the smallest footprint possible. The book is honestly written, covering the hardships as well as the triumphs. It shows the affects of this transition on their relationship and mental state. It’s not an easy road, but one that is most definitely worth taking. It’s a truly inspiring novel.
Have you read this book? Let me know what you think!
