This Common Ground Seasons on an Organic Farm Hardback - 2005

de Scott Chaskey

Since 1990, Scott Chaskey has worked as a land steward and farmer for the Peconic Land Trust at Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett, New York, an organic community farm. Over the years, he has recorded his meditations on weather, wildlife, soil, seed, root, plant, and flower, and in This Common Ground, he has organized some of these reflections season by season, through the course of one year on the farm. Chaskey's observations reflect a doer's respect for the rhetoric of the fields and a firsthand knowledge of the interdependence of soils, plants, animals, and humans. His contagious sense of wonder and artistic sensibility illustrate why planting and reaping are such an important part of what defines the human community and the human condition.

Like Joan Gussow's This Organic Life or Verlyn Klinkenborg's The Rural Life, this inspirational evocation of a life spent working the earth is certain to become a classic of nature writing, as well as appealing to today's burgeoning organic lifestyle audience.


Resumen

In the tradition of Michael Pollan, Joan Gussow, and Verlyn Klinkenborg’s The Rural Life, This Common Ground is an inspirational evocation of a life lived close to the earth, written by the head farmer at one of the country’s first community-supported farms. By reflecting on four seasons of activity at his beloved Quail Hill Farm in eastern Long Island, Scott Chaskey offers stirring insight into the connections between land and the human family. Whether writing about the voice of a small wren nesting in the lemon balm or a meadow of oats, millet, and peas rising to silver and green after a fresh rain, this poet-farmer’s contagious sense of wonder brings us back to our bond with the soil.

Viking , 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Fine. 5x0x8. CSA farmer, poet, and keeper of the land, Scott Chaskey, who here leads you wonderingly through a year on his Southfork farm, is just whom you would choose to grow your food: a soul who presses his cheek to the clover to see the first emerging garlic shoots, who celebrates the sight of monarch wings among the white blossoms of his buckwheat, and who, most importantly perhaps, does not allow his love/hate relationship with the temperamental tomato keep him from growing forty-four varieties anyway - seduced by such memory infused names as Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter. This Common Ground is for eaters, growers, poets and other wildlife. Signed copies rarely offered.
