Event Details
This month's title is The Haymakers: A Chronicle of Five Farm Families by Steven R Hoffbeck. Copies of this book will be available at the Ridgefield Community Library from January 21st until February 18th.
The Haymakers is an epic—the history of man's struggle with nature as well as man's struggle against machines. It relates the story of farmers and their obligations to their families, to the animals they fed, and to the land they tended. But The Haymakers is also an elegy—to a way of life fast disappearing from our landscape. In the most heartfelt essays, Hoffbeck chronicles his own family's struggle to hold onto their family farm and his personal struggle in deciding to leave farming for another way of life.
Join us on the third Tuesday of each month for a lively discussion. Drop by the library to pick up a copy of the book. All are welcome.
