Farm Friends is a memoir and a study
of the generation of the 1960s. Beginning on a communal farm in 1969, it
continues as a personal chronicle of the author and his extended family up to
the present day. From the greenhouse in the spring to haying in the summer; from
cold, wood-heated winters to abundant home-cooked dinners in the fall,
back-to-the-land communards of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s made their way
in a new and unfamiliar world. Later, relocated in cities and towns across the
country, they used what they had learned to continue to explore and to influence
life as they found it in the late 20th and early 21st century. The author’s
narrative traces the earlier roots and later pursuits of some of the many
participants, companions and friends attracted to this new way of life. Written
in a clear and literate manner, Farm Friends is intended as readable history,
stories interwoven into an ongoing narrative that suggests the fabric of an
entire generation.
