"Smith presents a true-life farm narrative to pain you and entertain you, but mostly to enlighten you. The youngish husband-wife Vermont farm team — idealistic, headstrong, haphazard, relentless — barter but don't borrow, quarrel, work their pants off, plan by impulse and make mistakes. But they are doing a noble thing: learning farming. They grow good food, and they make a good yarn, and Nicola Smith has gathered this harvest with rare skill."

- Ronald Jager, author of The Fate of Family Farming

 Sheep face

PHOTOGRAPHING A FARM over four seasons is a project I've wanted to do for a long time, and Jennifer Megyesi and Kyle Jones were perfect subjects. The family opened up their lives and Fat Rooster Farm to us, accomodating every request Nicola Smith and I made. We also had a great deal of support and help from editor Ann Treistman at The Lyons Press.
