Congratulations to my Elance client Tim Young on the publication of his new book “The Accidental Farmers,” to which I had the privilege to give a final edit.

When Tim and Liz Young decided to leave their comfortable suburban life and become first-time farmers in rural Georgia, they embarked on a journey that would change their lives. “The Accidental Farmers” reveals how the couple learned that hamburgers, bacon, and eggs don’t come from the supermarket but from real animals that forge emotional bonds with their human caretakers. Their story is not for the squeamish; you’ll learn about how pigs and cows are born and, sadly, about the virulent diseases that can wipe out entire populations of farm animals. And therein lies a moral question – should the farmer let nature take its course and ruthlessly winnow out the animals that are susceptible to horrific diseases, and therefore strengthen the survivors, or intervene with humane antibiotics that save lives but perpetuate the animal’s dependence on human overseers? Seeking a middle path between a meatless lifestyle and the barbarism of factory food, Tim and Liz created Nature’s Harmony Farm, a sustainable oasis where rare breed animals and humans live together searching for something nearly lost by both humans and the animals – how to live naturally off the land. This is a book that will inspire you and make you think about the choices we make every day.
