520    "When Ben Hewitt and his wife bought a sprawling acreage 
       of field and forest in northern Vermont, the landscape 
       easily allowed them to envision the self-sustaining family
       farm they were eager to start. But over the years, the 
       land became so much more than a building site; it became 
       the birthplace of their two sons, the main source of 
       family income and food, and ultimately, both classroom and
       home for their children. Having opted out of formal 
       education, Hewitt's sons learn through self-directed play,
       exploration, and experimentation on their farm, in the 
       woods, and (reluctantly) indoors. This approach has 
       allowed the boys to develop confidence, resourcefulness, 
       and creativity. They learn, they play, they read, they 
       test boundaries, they challenge themselves, they fail, 
       they recover. And these freedoms allow their innate 
       personalities to flourish, further fueling growth and 
       exploration. Living in tune with the natural world teaches
       us to reclaim our passion, curiosity, and connectivity. 
       Hewitt shows us how small, mindful decisions about day-to-
       day life can lead to greater awareness of the world in 
       your backyard and beyond. We are inspired to ask: What is 
       the true meaning of "home" when the place a family lives 
       is school, school system, and curriculum? When the parent 
       is also the teacher, how do parenting decisions affect a 
       child's learning? (And exactly how much trouble can a 
       couple of curious boys gallivanting in the wild woods all 
       day get into?) Home Grown reminds us that learning at any 
       age is a lifelong process, and the best "education" is 
       never confined to a classroom. These essays on nature, 
       parenting, and education show us that big change can come 
       from making small changes in how you live on the land, 
       while building a life you love"--|cProvided by publisher.
