Find out how two middle-aged career changers with five college degrees grow to meet the challenges of sustainably farming what was once a 19th century dairy about an hour from Philadelphia. Time spent sharing the Yellow Springs Farm story offers a humorous respite for wannabe farmers rushing to keep pace in corporate cubicles, car pools, and Cyberspace. Follow the planning and restoration of the farm landscape and its buildings. Meet the growing four-legged family members, and all the plants, animals, and other creatures that call Yellow Springs Farm home. Join the Renzis' on cheese journeys as they explore goat dairies in Italy, Portugal, Uruguay, and beyond, always seeking inspiration in pursuit of making the very finest artisanal goat cheeses. The book is a spirited memoir highlighting a love for food, together with passions for land and community.
Prior to establishing Yellow Springs Farm in 2000 in Chester Springs, PA, Catherine and Al Renzi had corporate business careers. During 20 years of farming, the Renzis operated a native plants nursery, bred Nubian goats, and created dozens of fresh and aged goat cheese varieties. Many cheeses incorporated plants from the farm, and were American Cheese Society award-winners. The cheeses enjoyed distribution with Whole Foods Markets, specialty stores, and fine restaurants.
