What fun! If you love growing things, raising things, or even just eating things, then this is a great book! Fournier brings, insight, humor, and grace to the description of she and her family's experience in starting a small farm in Texas. Oh, and mud. Join her for the journey. You'll be glad you did.

- Jonathon Reynolds author of "Trading Tastes"

Annette's stories are beyond entertaining, they actually transport me for a few moments to the farm, with all it's simplicity and chaos. I enjoy her writing style, but also the sincerity, warmth and kindness that comes through in every word.
