The Dirty Life

I just finished the book, "The Dirty Life" by Kristin Kimball. It is about a lady who is a writer living in NY who interviews a farmer and falls in love with him She leaves everything behind to start an organic farm that provides fresh meat, eggs, dairy products, fruits, herbs and veggies to their members. It was a super interesting book and well worth the investment of time. I learned a lot about farming, farm animals and life in a small community.

It is amazing that a book can make you think so much. It really made me more committed to not buying things just because you "want them". There is so much waste in that. We all need to use our "things" until they are worn out. It's hard on the busy life we all lead, but if we can all do small things, they add up.

Anyway - give the book a read - its well worth it!
