Playing in the Mud : An Amateur Farmer's Guide How Not to Farm

By Annette Fournier

Two alpacas fighting for the love of a llama; a goat convinced he is really a dog; rattlesnakes and roosters living on the porch and an emu run amok. When a couple and their children leave the suburbs to move to the Texas countryside and start a family farm, they don't expect just how messy - or how muddy - life will become. With her I.T.-guy-turned-farmer husband getting in over his head with big ideas, a rambunctious toddler playing tag with chickens, a special needs child riding "therapy donkeys," and a love for the culture of the South Texas countryside, Fournier spins a funny, enthralling tale of the misadventures, absurdities and joy of life as novice farmers. This book will leave you laughing and yearning to pack your bags and move to the country. Author's note: This book is a memoir, but the names and details of the people and some of the places within have been changed to protect privacy.
