"Many people dream of ditching it all and starting a farm in the country, but Barbara Parry actually did it. In 1997 she began building a flock of sheep that has since become the foundation of her thriving Western Massachusetts fiber farm. Here she offers a beautiful, vivid portrayal of the life she has chosen. Season by season, she presents a narrative that is dreamy yet concrete, inspiring yet informative, and, always, unblinkingly honest. A must-read for anyone who wants to better appreciate where their yarn comes from."--Clara Parkes "Parry's skillful hand and gentle heart are the perfect blend to capture the joys and heartaches of farming in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains."--Linda Cortright, publisher of Wild Fibers magazine "Many of us wool enthusiasts daydream about someday owning a farm, raising sheep, harvesting yarn, and going back to the land. Follow Barbara Parry--a former English teacher who made this dream a reality--on a journey that teaches us all 'about the intangible gains of . . . taking the long road.' "--Jared Flood, knitwear designer and owner of Brooklyn Tweed, "Visually as well as informatively inviting, Barry's story of her New England farm, particularly how she produces yarn for crafters, will absorb readers regardless of their previous interest in or even exposure to the nearly magical world of yarn preparation."-- Booklist , starred review "Many people dream of ditching it all and starting a farm in the country, but Barbara Parry actually did it.
