The Dirty Life: A Story of Farming the Land and Falling in Love Book

When Manhattan writer Kristin Kimball arrived to interview Mark on a Pennsylvanian farm she was wearing high heels and a crisp white shirt and had been vegetarian for thirteen years. That evening she found herself helping him to slaughter a pig. By the next morning she was tucking into sizzling homemade sausages drizzled with warm maple syrup and within a few months she'd given up her life in the city and moved with Mark their combined savings and a dozen chickens to a derelict farm in a remote corner of upstate New York. They gave themselves a year to transform 500 badly neglected acres into an organic community farm. Passionate inspiring and gorgeously written this is a story about falling in love with a man and with a different way to live complete with runaway piglets and dew-fresh lettuce sceptical locals and a wedding in a hayloft.Read More
