“In his view, we were already a success, because we were doing something hard and it was something that mattered to us. You don't measure things like that with words like success or failure, he said. Satisfaction comes from trying hard things and then going on to the next hard thing, regardless of the outcome. What mattered was whether or not you were moving in a direction you thought was right.”
Kristin Kimball, The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love

“Food, a French man told me once, is the first wealth. Grow it right, and you feel insanely rich, no matter what you own.”
Kristin Kimball (Author)

“‎A farm is a manipulative creature. There is no such thing as finished. Work comes in a stream and has no end. There are only the things that must be done now and things that can be done later. The threat the farm has got on you, the one that keeps you running from can until can't, is this: do it now, or some living thing will wilt or suffer or die. Its blackmail, really.”
Kristin Kimball, The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love
