출판사 설명
"Charming . . . . [Kurt Timmermeister] narrates his personal journey with an open, straightforward spirit." —Wall Street Journal
When he purchased four acres of land on Vashon Island, Kurt Timmermeister was only looking for an affordable home near the restaurants he ran in Seattle. But as he slowly settled into his new property, he became awakened to the connection between what he ate and where it came from: a hive of bees provided honey, a young cow could give fresh milk, an apple orchard allowed him to make vinegar. With refreshing honesty, Timmermeister details the initial stumbles and subsequent realities he faced as he established a profitable farm for himself. Personal yet practical, Growing a Farmer will entirely recast the way we think about our relationship to the food we consume.

I devoured this book!
Kurt's honest approach to the telling of his life's journey was delicious. I hungrily consumed every chapter, and I found his back to basics philosophies about food and life refreshing. A great read!
To detailed
The book started out very good but got way to detailed and graphic for this vegetarian. I had to skip the last few chapters.
