This audiobook is the personal memoir of an urban couple's journey to farming rather than a how-to guide and is sure to delight those interested in moving to the country or simply learning more about the struggles of sustainable farming.
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. 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.

Great

Paints a picture so you can close your eyes and see the visual being conveyed. Very descriptive narrative. Inflection would go a long way in making it a story vs narrative.
Only you know, your true calling in life...

Would you consider the audio edition of The Accidental Farmers: An Urban Couple, a Rural Calling and a Dream of Farming in Harmony with Nature to be better than the print version?
That's hard to know since I didn't read the print version, but for me, the story was told in the emotions of the reader, who transmitted the author's angst at the loss of animals in the early years of the farm.What did you like best about this story?
The good, the bad, and the ugly - the story moving to the country wasn't made to sound like a sweet or banal withdrawal from the rat race, but a challenging change of life style.What does Don Moffit bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The story was told in the emotions of the reader, who transmitted the author's angst at the loss of animals in the early years of the farm.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Too many chicks.Any additional comments?

What could Tim Young have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I'm very interested in sustainable farming as a lifestyle, and have read a number of books / memoirs on this topic. This book starts out ok, but turns into a smug diatribe of the authors mediocre accomplishments. I especially could not tolerate the portrayal of his wife as an emotional mess that needs constant support and guidance from him, especially with him being a novice himself.Hmmmm...
