In Good Husbandry, Kristin Kimball invites readers into the intimate world of her family farm in rural Vermont. With a keen eye for detail and a heartwarming sense of humor, she chronicles her experiences as a farmer, mother, and steward of the land.

From the daily routines of caring for animals and tending to crops to the unexpected challenges and triumphs along the way, Kimball's memoir offers a vivid and unfiltered perspective on the realities of modern agriculture.

Farming as a Labor of Love and Resilience

Kimball's prose captures the physical and emotional demands of farming. She candidly shares the joys of witnessing calves born, the satisfaction of harvesting a bountiful crop, and the heartbreak of losing animals to disease or hardship.

Through her storytelling, Kimball paints a portrait of a farmer as more than just an agriculturalist. She is a healer, a problem-solver, a tireless worker, and above all, a protector of the land and its creatures.

The Enduring Bond Between Humans and Animals

A central theme in Good Husbandry is the deep connection between humans and animals. Kimball's bond with her livestock extends far beyond her professional responsibilities.

She recounts the personalities and stories of her animals, from the mischievous goats to the gentle giant draft horses. Through their lives and deaths, Kimball explores the complex emotions and interdependencies that exist between humans and animals.

A Call to Sustainable Stewardship

Beneath the personal anecdotes and engaging storytelling, Good Husbandry serves as a subtle but powerful call to environmental stewardship. Kimball advocates for sustainable farming practices that prioritize the health of the soil, the animals, and the community.

She challenges readers to question the industrialized food system and consider the true costs and benefits of modern agriculture. Through her writing, Kimball inspires readers to connect with their food sources and to make informed choices about the products they consume.

A Journey of Transformation and Growth

As much as it is a story about farming, Good Husbandry is also a memoir of personal growth and transformation. Kimball's journey as a farmer is intertwined with her own journey as a wife, mother, and individual.

Through her experiences, she learns the value of resilience, patience, and human connection. She discovers the importance of finding balance between her role as a farmer and her own well-being, ultimately emerging as a stronger and more fulfilled person.
