Reviews
"Nicola Smith's lucid prose and Geoff Hansen's wonderful photographs have brought us not just a year in the life of an organic farm but a love story and an inspiring portrait of modern farm life."--Julia Alverez, author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents "Smith presents a true-life farm narrative to pain you and entertain you, but mostly to enlighten you. The youngish husband-wife Vermont farm team--idealistic, headstrong, haphazard, relentless--barter but don't borrow, quarrel, work their pants off, plan by impulse and make mistakes. They grow good food, and they make a good yarn, and Nicola Smith has gathered this harvest with rare skill."- - Ronald Jager, Author of Eighty Acres and The Fate of Family Farming "This remarkable account is unsentimental and realistic, and also profoundly moving; I know many people living this life, and every page in Nicola Smith's book rings true. Peel a local apple, cut a few slices of farmhouse cheese, and settle in with this adventure story."-- Bill McKibben, Author of The End of Nature, and of Wandering Home "Smith writes an intimate, unsentimental portrait of the couple's stresses...and it's this close-up view of the private, painful, and real negotiations necessary to keep the farm running that, along with Hansen's fine photographs, may resonate most strongly with readers."-- Booklist "Numerous vignettes, illustrated by Hansen's appealing pictures, pile up a wealth of detail about this small organic establishment, which raises both livestock and produce. More than most writers on farming, Smith is attuned to the people who do it: Megeysi may be one of the most vividly drawn farm women since Letters of a Woman Homesteader"-- Publisher's Weekly, "Nicola Smith chronicles the lives of two Vermonters living a rural and picturesque life - something often misleadingly called the simple life. 'Harvest' tells the story of two Vermonters, Jennifer Megyesi and Kyle Jones, as they plow their time, money and energies into an organic farm, where all the hard work of a modern farm is compounded by giving up many of the modern chemicals and conveniences of conventional farming. Organic farmers in rural America are forging strong bonds with organic consumers - many, in highly urbanized settings - in the rapid emergence of this vital new market that is benefiting family farms in Vermont and from coast to coast."-- U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Vermonter, "father" of the national organic standards and labeling program, and member of the Senate Agriculture Committee., "Nicola Smith's lucid prose and Geoff Hansen's wonderful photographs have brought us not just a year in the life of an organic farm but a love story and an inspiring portrait of modern farm life."--Julia Alverez, author of How the GarcÍa Girls Lost Their Accents "Smith presents a true-life farm narrative to pain you and entertain you, but mostly to enlighten you.

More than most writers on farming, Smith is attuned to the people who do it: Megeysi may be one of the most vividly drawn farm women since Letters of a Woman Homesteader"-- Publisher's Weekly, "Given its unique and personal focus, this fascinating book will appeal to a wide audience, especially those considering organic farming."--Library Journal "Life on a farm is not always a field day - that's made strikingly clear in Nicola Smith's fascinating account of a young couple's experience tending a 20-acre plot in Royalton, Vermont."--Organic Style "...covers the hard reality and endless work as well as the simple pleasures of life on a farm."--Times Record
