Excerpt from A Year of Food and Life on a Sustainable Farm

"I had never imagined myself as a farmer. I grew up in the suburbs, and my only experience with farming was watching my father mow the lawn. But when I moved to the Catskill Mountains and met the farmers at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, I was immediately drawn to their way of life. They were passionate about growing food in a way that was good for the land, for the animals, and for the people who ate it. And they were committed to building a sustainable future for themselves and their community.

I wanted to learn more about sustainable farming, so I asked the farmers at Stone Barns if I could work on their farm. They agreed, and I spent the next year living and working alongside them. I learned how to grow vegetables, raise animals, and make cheese. I also learned about the challenges of sustainable farming, such as weather, pests, and disease. But I also learned about the rewards, such as the satisfaction of growing food that nourishes your body and soul, and the joy of living in harmony with the land.

A Year of Food and Life on a Sustainable Farm is a memoir of my year spent living and working on a sustainable farm. It is a story about the challenges and rewards of sustainable farming, and about the importance of food and community in our lives."
