Totally hippie, totally lovely truthful heartfelt essays on back-to-the-land.
Very inspiring for me as a teenager, actually.

So good. Given to me as a gift in early 1980s and used it religiously to plan my first gardens. The book was left with my parents for a few decades while I experimented with city life. We are now together again as I've returned to my parents farm. Solid guidance still today and enjoy it even more.

Endlessly entertaining, endlessly informative, depresses me in that I can't help but feel I'm either not doing enough with my life or I'm living the wrong way.

Feminist manifesto and how-to guide all in one!

I read this book every year when I first moved to the mountains, now I read it every few years for
nostalgia and motivation.
