Some Books to Read

I've been reading some of Gladys Taber's books. Ms. Taber wrote a series of books about her Vermont farm, Stillmeadow. She and her sister and their two husband's bought the farm as a retreat from their New York City life. Eventually her husband left her and she and her daughter moved to the farm full time. She is my inspiration for this blog.

Another inspirational author or authors was Helen and Scott Nearing with their book, "Living the Good Life". I don't really identify too well with their very austere existence, but their books have a lot of good information for subsistence farming.

And then there is Gene Logsden and his book, " The Contrary Farmer".  I've had the opportunity to here Gene speak about organic farming and he really makes you believe.
