Those daydreaming about moving to the country and growing their own food should read this very funny memoir first。 Haspel and her husband started small when they moved from Manhattan to Cape Cod in 2008 but things quickly spun into a bigger enterprise that wasn't always happy or successful。 Backyard gardeners know that it isn't necessarily less expensive to plant rather than buy produce but what about chickens and eggs？ Vegetarians should know that she also hunts。 There are more than a few helpf Those daydreaming about moving to the country and growing their own food should read this very funny memoir first。 Haspel and her husband started small when they moved from Manhattan to Cape Cod in 2008 but things quickly spun into a bigger enterprise that wasn't always happy or successful。 Backyard gardeners know that it isn't necessarily less expensive to plant rather than buy produce but what about chickens and eggs？ Vegetarians should know that she also hunts。 There are more than a few helpful hints but there's also a cautionary element to some of it。 Know， however， that Haspel keeps her sense of humor throughout。 Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC。 An entertaining read。 。。。more

I absolutely loved this！ Self sufficiency and sustainability are both things I am really interested in。 Although， I slightly had a hard time reading the meat parts， being vegan， I can greatly appreciate what the author is doing and teaching。 It's not a long boring book at all。 I think a lot of people can learn a lot about themselves and the world around them while reading this。 I would definitely recommend it。 I absolutely loved this！ Self sufficiency and sustainability are both things I am really interested in。 Although， I slightly had a hard time reading the meat parts， being vegan， I can greatly appreciate what the author is doing and teaching。 It's not a long boring book at all。 I think a lot of people can learn a lot about themselves and the world around them while reading this。 I would definitely recommend it。 。。。more

Big thanks to Goodreads for the opportunity to review the book。Growing up on a farm， the memoir brought back memories of raising chickens， which included picking them up at the store， feeding and watering， picking eggs and of course the task of catching and caging when it was butchering time。 I never swung the hatchet， but can still smell the odor of singed feathers。We also had a large garden and I learned a lot about pickling， freezing and canning， which to this day I still do。 People have no i Big thanks to Goodreads for the opportunity to review the book。Growing up on a farm， the memoir brought back memories of raising chickens， which included picking them up at the store， feeding and watering， picking eggs and of course the task of catching and caging when it was butchering time。 I never swung the hatchet， but can still smell the odor of singed feathers。We also had a large garden and I learned a lot about pickling， freezing and canning， which to this day I still do。 People have no idea how much better a fresh fruit or vegetable tastes right off the vine。Thanks for bringing back memories for me Tamar Haspel。 。。。more

Self sufficiency， how to， and New England life all wrapped into an entertaining look at the authors adventures in eating local。 From clamming to raising livestock to hunting， the author and her husband have tried it all in part of their bid to eat something they’ve produced each day。 The author is often humorous and I found it entertaining though I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be raising turkeys any time soon。Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for advanced review copy —all opinions my own。
