Acerca de esta escucha

One fateful day in 1996, after discovering that five freight cars' worth of glittering corn have reaped a tiny profit of $18.16, young Forrest Pritchard vows to save his family's farm. What ensues - through hilarious encounters with all manner of livestock and colorful local characters - is a crash course in sustainable agriculture. Pritchard's biggest ally is his renegade father, who initially questions his son's career choice and rejects organic foods for sugary mainstream fare. But just when the farm starts to turn heads at local farmers' markets, his father's health takes a turn for the worse. With poetry and humor, this inspiring memoir tugs on your heartstrings and feeds your soul long after you've finished.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"By the end of his wonderful book, Pritchard lies in a field pondering his own slim margin of success from slowing things down in our fast paced world; a well-deserved moment of happiness for this important new spokesperson of the future of agriculture and poet of the earth." ( Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"Roger Wayne's warm, lively reading of Forrest Pritchard's memoir of saving his family's farm in the Shenandoah Valley is a hopeful and conversational experience.... integrity is heard in Wayne's performance." ( AudioFile)

Really good story!!

I really liked this book, I enjoyed the way Forrest kept persevering when things looked worst... The family could have taken the easy out and sold some of the property, but wanted to keep the family farm together.

Forrest Fixes Things - provides Honest Food

Great book easy to listen to. Great antidotes throughout. You could tell Forrest enjoyed thinking of the right words to bring the farm and his experience to life.

It left me encouraged to think more generational family farms could be rescued.

It left me thinking about the relationship between the urban and the rural.

Throughly enjoyed this book

Great writer. Teaches without lecturing. I can't believe some of the predicaments he gets into. Strongly recommend this book. Looking forward to Forrest Pritchard's next book.

Really good to hear for a beginning farmer.

As a beginning farmer myself, this book definitely spoke to me. Loved it, from beginning to end.

As a budding farmer, I loved this.

Great for anyone realizing where our food comes from is important, and not all food is equally created, nor all done properly for short or long term goals

This was a wonderful story of a small family farm. There were times I belly laughed out loud and rewound to hear the story again. Lord bless Pedro the goat!
