Book Review: A whole new direction
Summary: 4 Stars
I first discovered Nora Seton through her book The Kitchen Congregation, and immediately set off to read any other book she had written. The Road to My Farm is her account of venturing into the world of farming. Entering Texas A&M to study for a masters degree in agracultural science , Nora is so taken with the farming side of life, she sets off to establish a farm of her own. What follows is a well thought out and written tale of what it means to farm today. Decisions that need to be made, organic or chemical, livestock or crops, or a bit of both. To farm full time or just part time, to sell comercially or just at a roadside stand? Along for the adventure is her husband who is far more tolerant than many spouses of either sex. Just as they find and are about to acquire what seems to be their dream farm, a job transfer threatens to whisk them away. The snippet of conversation between the author and a determined tractor dealer is certain to bring smiles of recognition (and relief) as the reader remembers their own close calls with car salesmen. What is most striking about this book it the information it does not cover (or maybe the information that I would most like to know)....How does a young woman growing up in the east,daughter of a novelist and Ivy League educated, turn to farming as a passion?
