The Accidental Farmers by Tim Young

Today I bring you a refreshing read about one couples journey to a healthier lifestyle by The Accidental Farmers by Tim Young. What started out as an anniversary horse ride in the country that turned into a full time farm life is brought to you courtesy of the author. He does an excellent job of telling the story.

If you are thinking of the issues with our oil dependent agriculture or looking for a quieter lifestyle this may be a good book to read. The author details what they have had to overcome to realize their dreams and how they got to the point in their life. He details some high points and low points.

Oftentimes the viewpoint for many people outside a farm or rural lifestyle and their perception of high and low points are totally different than reality. I think the author does a great job of showing the changing realities as they become assimilated into the farmer lifestyle.

If you are looking for a good viewpoint of being a farmer or homesteading then I think The Accidental Farmers by Tim Young. I know that I have a new blue cheese that I want to sample.
