New York City girl meets farmer boy and falls in love – with him and his grand vision of a farm that grows everything needed to feed a community. They set out to create a new type of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) that provides not just the usual vegetables and the occasional fruits, but also meat, dairy, maple syrup, eggs, grains and flours, dried beans, and herbs. I greatly enjoyed reading about the love, struggle, and joy that was involved in creating Essex Farm.
