520 2 "An intimate, gorgeously observed memoir about family and
farming that forms a powerful lesson in the hard-earned
risks that make life worth living. The summer he was
thirty-one, Arlo Crawford returned home for the summer
harvest at New Morning Farm--seventy-five acres tucked in
a hollow in south-central Pennsylvania where his parents
had been growing organic vegetables for almost forty
years. Like many summers before, Arlo returned to the
family farm's familiar rhythms--rise, eat, bend, pick,
sort, sweat, sleep. But this time he was also there to
change his direction, like his father years ago. In the
1970s, well before the explosion of the farm-to-table and
slow food movement, Arlo's father, Jim, left behind law
school and Vietnam, and decided to give farming a try.
Arlo's return also prompts a re-examination of a past
tragedy: the murder of a neighboring farmer twenty years
before. A chronicle of one full season on a farm, with all
its small triumphs and inevitable setbacks, A Farm Dies
Once a Year is a mediation on work--the true nature of it,
and on taking pride in it--and a son's reckoning with a
father's legacy. Above all, it is a striking portrait of
how one man builds, sows, and harvests his way into a new
understanding of the risks necessary to a life well-lived"
