Growing a Farmer Part 1
Growing a farmer by Kurt Timmermeister is abook about a living off the land, and self-discovery. Overall, the book is a personal narrative about going back to one's roots to a more holistic way of living.
Some years ago, around 1990, Timmermeister, aformer chef, purchased around four acres of land for his family. He sought to buy an affordable piece of land that wasn't to far from the city of Seattle. As he started to make their newly purchased property a home, he discovered that there was a lot more potential there than he first tought. Growing a Farmer takes the reader on a journey through his frustration, and success while establishing a small home-run farmin modern America. Growing a Farmer is peppered with anecdotal humor that engages the senses.
Coming from a country where you don't have to struggle in your food choice, or only looking for organic food, Growing a Farmer was not unpleasant to read. I found many of his stories about his farm very interesting. He presents the reality of the food industry. As well as I enjoyed this book, I struggled with the reading few times. He mades some parts really longer than it should have been and give the impression of just filling pages.
