This book is composed of stories related to the many experiences the author and her husband have gone through as hobby farmers over the past several years. Lessons in Farm Life includes tales of cows, sheep, turkeys, chickens, dogs, and horses. About twenty years ago, we started out as novices, and through the years we have learned many lessons about living life on a farm. Author Nancy Grahams original purpose in writing this book was to have something tangiblewith life experiences and spiritual lessonsin order to pass down to her family. As she got further on in the writing process and began relating the many spiritual applications that could be taken from these stories, she realized the book could be a great encouragement to many Christians. This is especially true considering the traumatic and heart-wrenching events that took place within the family before the writing of this book was complete.

National Bestseller Sometimes it’s not only what we plant but where we’re planted. Now raising their four-year-old daughter, Indiana, alone, after Joey’s passing, Rory Feek digs deeper into the soil of his life and the unusual choices he and his wife, Joey, made together and the ones he’s making now to lead his family into the future. When Rory Feek and his older daughters moved into a run-down farmhouse almost twenty years ago, he had no idea of the almost fairy-tale love story that was going to unfold on that small piece of Tennessee land . . . and the lessons he and his family would learn along the way. Now two years after Joey’s passing, as Rory takes their four-year-old daughter Indiana’s hand and walks forward into an unknown future, he takes readers on his incredible journey from heartbreak to hope and, ultimately, the kind of healing that comes only through faith. A raw and vulnerable look deeper into Rory’s heart, Once Upon a Farm is filled with powerful stories of love, life, and hope and the insights that one extraordinary, ordinary man in bib overalls has gleamed along the way. As opposed to homesteading, this is instead a book on lifesteading as Rory learns to cultivate faith, love, and fatherhood on a small farm while doing everything, at times, but farming. With frequent stories of his and Joey’s years together, and how those guide his life today, Rory unpacks just what it means to be open to new experiences. “This isn’t a how-to book; it’s more of a how we, or more accurately, how He, God, planted us on a few acres of land and grew something bigger than Joey or I could have ever imagined.”

Farming While Black is the first comprehensive "how to" guide for aspiring African-heritage growers to reclaim their dignity as agriculturists and for all farmers to understand the distinct, technical contributions of African-heritage people to sustainable agriculture. At Soul Fire Farm, author Leah Penniman co-created the Black and Latino Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program as a container for new farmers to share growing skills in a culturally relevant and supportive environment led by people of color. Farming While Black organizes and expands upon the curriculum of the BLFI to provide readers with a concise guide to all aspects of small-scale farming, from business planning to preserving the harvest. Throughout the chapters Penniman uplifts the wisdom of the African diasporic farmers and activists whose work informs the techniques described--from whole farm planning, soil fertility, seed selection, and agroecology, to using whole foods in culturally appropriate recipes, sharing stories of ancestors, and tools for healing from the trauma associated with slavery and economic exploitation on the land. Woven throughout the book is the story of Soul Fire Farm, a national leader in the food justice movement.--AMAZON.

Have you ever taken the opportunity to deeply reflect on your life experiences? Your experiences shape who you are, why you behave the way you do, and your values. Yet often, we don't take the time to "hear" the lessons that are unconsciously guiding our future steps. Reflection can help you to deepen your understanding of yourself, accept what you know to be true, and acknowledge what is standing in the way between where you've been and where you want to go. In Acres of Life, Nancy Kalsow shares heartfelt stories from her life growing up on a Wisconsin family dairy farm. She recounts the daily onslaught of farm chores, the hard work necessary to build a sustainable business and the fun and freedom that come from fresh air and unconditional love. She highlights the values and work ethic that guided her through 30+ years in corporate operations and organizational development roles. Her insights focus on values such as honesty, perseverance, respect and love, along with her personal favorite messages including "Carefree is the best kind of free", "Create your own 'outta sight' space" and "There you are!" Ironically, it wasn't until Nancy sat with her thoughts about her childhood while writing this book, that she uncovered her own personal motivation behind her coaching practice. Writing this book prompted her to create her signature coaching program, Get R.E.A.L. with Nancy. Acres of Life shares Kalsow's personal stories and the self-reflection that empowered her to lead a more joyful and fulfilling life. Her heart-warming and insightful book will inspire you to explore your own memories and discover how your experiences can make your life even more meaningful. Just as farming nurtures the soil, Acres of Life will nurture your soul!
