Country Living welcomes back Steven Coffman's celebrated collection of essays about life on the farm. Hailed by Library Journal as “amusing, exuberant, and poignant,” it now includes three entirely new and thoroughly delightful articles to enjoy. “Our first country spring was in mid-renaissance. Everywhere life was bourgeoning! First had come the early-returning flocks of robins and red-winged blackbirds…Then antediluvian opossums wobbling out of time-warp hibernation, groundhogs popping up on roadsides like chubby heralds…an explosion of baby bunnies.” What happens when two hippies with virtually no knowledge of country life decide to set up house on a 129-acre farm in Upstate New York? That's what Steven Coffman and his wife Bobbie did in the late summer of 1972, and in Back to the Farm he tells the whole story of their grand undertaking with great humor, pathos, and wit.
