Reviews

[Lexi Jones · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a story of a family that has been farming on the same land for 100 years. It is a very neat story, and it is a very quick read. This would be good to incorporate into a lesson about early agriculture because it compares and contrasts modern farming with the farming techniques from when the farm was first began by the author's great-grandparents. The photographs are very helpful in keeping the story interesting.

Family anecdotes and family photos share the story of a 100-year farm as it grew from the 1890s into a thriving dairy.
