520    After years of working at the ends of the earth in human 
       rights and development, Brent Preston and his wife were 
       die-hard city dwellers. But when their second child 
       arrived, the shine came off urban living. In 2003 they 
       bought a hundred acres and a rundown farmhouse and set out
       to build a real farm, one that would sustain their family,
       nourish their community, heal their environment, and turn 
       a profit. The New Farm is Prestons memoir of a decade of 
       grinding toil and perseverance. Farming is a complex and 
       precarious business, and they made plenty of mistakes 
       along the way. But as they learned how to grow food, and 
       to succeed at the business of farming, they also found 
       that a small, sustainable, organic farm could be an engine
       for change, a path to a more just and sustainable food 
       system. Today, The New Farm supplies top restaurants, 
       supports community food banks, hosts events with leading 
       chefs, and grows extraordinary produce. Told with humor 
       and heart, The New Farm is a joy, a passionate book by an 
       important new voice--Amazon.com.
