<title>Learning to love farming, dirt and all</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16484/20101012/learning-to-love-farming-dirt-and-all</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 12, 2010) There are urban folks who spend weekends and summers on upstate New York farms. They&apos;re taken by the part-time charm of rural life.  Then there are those, like Kristin Kimball, who give up the big city completely and fall in love with life in the country.  Kimball was a freelance writer in New York City.  Then she met a young farmer, and on an impulse, traded city bustle for the chance to live closer to the earth.  Since 2003, Kristin and her husband Mark have run Essex Farms, a CSA among the rolling hills above Essex, New York.   Todd Moe toured their farm this summer, during the peak harvest season, and talked with Kristin about her new book, The Dirty Life - On Farming, Food and Love.  It chronicles the Kimballs&apos; challenges and joys during the first year on their Champlain Valley farm.
