The summer he was thirty-one, Arlo Crawford returned home for the summer harvest at New Morning Farm--seventy-five acres tucked in a hollow in south-central Pennsylvania where his parents had been growing organic vegetables for almost forty years. Like many summers before, Arlo returned to the family farm's familiar rhythms--rise, eat, bend, pick, sort, sweat, sleep. But this time he was also there to change his direction, like his father years ago. In the 1970s, well before the explosion of the farm-to-table and slow food movement, Arlo's father, Jim, left behind law school and Vietnam, and decided to give farming a try. Arlo's return also prompts a re-examination of a past tragedy: the murder of a neighboring farmer twenty years before. A chronicle of one full season on a farm, with all its small triumphs and inevitable setbacks, A Farm Dies Once a Year isa mediation on work--the true nature of it, and on taking pride in it--and a son's reckoning with a father's legacy. Above all, it is a striking portrait of how one man builds, sows, and harvests his way into a new understanding of the risks necessary toa life well-lived"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Crawford, Arlo $x Family. 650 10 $a Farmers $z Pennsylvania $v Biography. 650 0 $a Family farms $z Pennsylvania. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $z Pennsylvania. 610 0 $a New Morning Farm (Firm) 650 20 $a Farm life $z Pennsylvania. 650 0 $a Work $x Philosophy. 651 0 $a Pennsylvania $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Career changes $v Case studies. 941 $a 8 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829012934.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204073119.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110055037.0 952 $l N4AX745 $d 20180808035649.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116020600.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826092514.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20141210011018.0 952 $l EJPD605 $d 20140708194152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9FFB64DEB96911E39868C383DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
