{"product_id":"the-contrary-farmer","title":"The Contrary Farmer","description":"Gene Logsdon has become something of a rabble-rouser in progressive farm circles, stirring up debates and controversies with his popular New Farm Magazine column, The Contrary Farmer. One of Logsdon's principle contrarieties is the opinion that--popular images of the vanishing American farmer, notwithstanding--greater numbers of people in the U.S. will soon be growing and raising a greater share of their own food than at any time since the last century. Instead of vanishing, more and more farmers will be cottage farming, part-time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis detailed and personal account of how Logsdon's family uses the art and science of agriculture to achieve a reasonably happy and ecologically sane way of life in an example for all who seek a sustainable lifestyle. In \u003ci\u003eThe Contrary Farmer\u003c\/i\u003e, Logsdon offers the tried-and-true, practical advice of a manual for the cottage farmer, as well as the subtler delights of a meditation in praise of work and pleasure. \u003ci\u003eThe Contrary Farmer\u003c\/i\u003e will give its readers tools and tenets, but also hilarious commentaries and beautiful evocations of the Ohio countryside that Logsdon knows as his place in the universe.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50952790573344,"sku":"9780930031749","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780930031749.jpg?v=1763661805","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/the-contrary-farmer","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
