Book Description
This “must-read” memoir of human-scale agriculture offers an insider’s view of today’s food system by a leading voice in sustainable farming (Daniel Boulud). After years of working at the ends of the earth in human rights and development, Brent Preston and his wife were die-hard city dwellers. But when their second child arrived, the shine came off urban living. In 2003 they bought a hundred acres and a rundown farmhouse, determined to build a farm that would sustain their family, nourish their community, heal their environment—and turn a profit. The New Farm is Preston’s memoir of a decade of toil and perseverance. Farming is a complex and precarious business, and they made plenty of mistakes along the way. But as they learned how to grow food, and to succeed at the business of farming, they also found that a small, sustainable, organic farm could be an engine for change, a path to a more just and sustainable food system. Today, The New Farm supplies top restaurants, supports community food banks, hosts events with leading chefs, and grows extraordinary produce. Told with humor and heart, The New Farm is a joy, a passionate book by an important new voice.

Book Description
One of the Midwest's best-loved authors tells the story of his land, from the last great glacier that dug out its valleys and formed its hills, to his own family's 40 year relationship with the beloved farm they call Roshara. In this quiet but epic tale, Apps describes the Native Americans who lived on the land for hundreds of years, tapping the maple trees and fishing the streams and lakes, as well as the first white settlers who tilled its sandy acres, plowing the native grasses that grew taller than their teams of oxen. For all their work, the farm proved tough to tame. Hardscrabble farming methods and hard luck often brought failure. "From land that provided only a marginal living for its early owners, this place we call Roshara has provided much for my family and me," writes Apps. He and his wife and their children have cared for the farm not so much to make a living as to enhance their lives. Apps chronicles the family's efforts — always earnest, if sometimes ill-advised — to restore an old granary into living space, develop a productive vegetable garden, manage the woodlots, reestablish a prairie, and enjoy nature's sounds and silences. Breathtakingly beautiful color photographs by Apps's son, Steve (a professional photographer), highlight the ever-changing beauty of the land in every season and hint at the spiritual gifts that are the true bounty this family reaps from Roshara. Central to Apps' work is his belief that the land is something to cherish and revere. Like Aldo Leopold before him, Apps sounds an inspirational call to readers to preserve wild and rural places, leaving them in better condition than we found them for future generations.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Old Farm and the New Farm: A Political Allegory Mr. Hopkinson was one of the brightest scholars and keenest wits of his day. He was a native of Philadelphia, where he was born on the 3d of September, 1738. His father was an English gentleman, of polished manners and a thorough education; and his mother, a woman of great refinement, was the niece of the eminent Bishop of Worcester. They came from England immediately after their marriage, and settled in Philadelphia; and there Mr. Hopkinson became active in public life, with Dr. Frank lin and others. He was one of the founders of the College of Philadelphia. When Francis was fourteen years of age, his father died, leaving a widow, with a large family of children. Francis was the first graduate of the new college, and was an honor to the institution. He chose the profession of law for a life vocation, and studied under Benjamin Chew, afterward the eminent Chief Justice of Pennsylvania. Being fond of literary pursuits, and feeling desirous to have his faculties expanded and strengthened by intercourse with eminent men, he went to England at the close of his law studies, and resided with the Bishop of Worcester about two years.
