I am in the process of reading Suzanne McMinn’s outstanding book, “Chickens in the Road.” I am in a happy “rut” of searching out and devouring books that tell the story of leaving a familiar routine for a new life of homesteading. After finishing Kristin Kimball’s, “The Dirty Life” and reading her blog, I have been on a quest to read as many back to basics and farming books as possible. Perhaps I am living vicariously through these ladies. All I know is that I enjoy the interesting, fun and sometimes amazing stories they have lived.
I found several terrific links to more of Suzanne’s ideas and stories:
Chickens in the Road, Facebook Page
Here’s a Youtube video narrated by Suzanne. Enjoy!
I’m going to the library right now to get “The Dirty Life”, thanks for the suggestion!

Which one of these terrific books…Dirty or Chicken? I have finished “The Dirty Life.” I loved it. I knew right from the get-go I was going to love “Chickens in the Road.” I am still reading…did you visit the blogs at all. Both books have a companion blog. Bliss!

I did, I went to both blogs. I’m reading The Dirty Life right now and I’m waiting for Chickens to hit paperback (or I might just get a hardcover version). The Dirty Life is great, I can’t put it down.

I was lucky and found Chickens in the local library. Dirty Life is mine…when I see Chickens in a bookstore I’ll probably pick that up too. I’m so glad you are enjoying it. 🙂
