New York, NY, U.S.A.: Hearst Books, 1994. First Edition First Printing Stated . Hard Back. Fine/Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 318 Pages. An adventure in the American heartland. It started with two hundred pounds of tomatoes harvested from a tiny plot of polluted Chicago dirt. It ended with a new life on a broken-down farm in Brown County, Indiana, where the Murphey family settled, trading the urban fast track for s impler existence. This book chronicles the Murphey's first two years at Bean Blossom Farm--a luminious portrait of how one family made their American Dream come true. Visit Bean Blossom Farm and enter a world of hard work, bad weather, good neighbors, dumb turkeys, smart geese, and enduring charm, punctuated by frequent episodes of utter mayhem. It is a place wehre a person can expect to battle tornadoes in the back yard, master runaway tractors and renegade libestock. Or puzzle ovver what to do with 672 eggs per month. Or sit by a mirror-still lake and listen to the sounds of the night. Savor the magic of a country Christmas and delight in the first brave blooms of spring. Sometimes thereis sadness, but always there is family, love, and the astonishing beauty of the emerging farm. For armchair escapists, animal lovers, and anyone interested in meaningful living.
