Produktbeschreibung
A profound meditation on nature, heritage, and belonging, from an accomplished journalist who left New York City for life on a working farm "I needed this book. I think you need it, too."-Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful In his late thirties, Jeff Chu left his job as a magazine writer and found himself at Princeton Theological Seminary's "Farminary"-a twenty-one-acre working farm where students learn to cultivate the earth while examining life's biggest questions. Now, he unpacks what he learned about creating "good soil," both literally and figuratively, drawing lessons from the rhythms of growth, decay, and regeneration that define life on the land. In gorgeous, transporting reflections, Chu introduces us to the cast of characters, human and not, who became his teachers. While observing the egrets that visit the pond, the worms that turn waste into fertile soil, and the Chinese long beans that get passed over in the farm's CSA, Chu considers our desire to belong, the story behind the food on our plate, and the significance of his own roots. What is the earth trying to tell us, if we'll only stop and listen? Good Soil helps readers connect to the land and to one another at a time when we seem drawn most to the phones in our hands. For nature lovers, foodies, and anyone who has daydreamed about a more fulfilling life, this book is a tribute to friendship, to the sacredness of our bond with the natural world, and to how love can grow from the unlikeliest of places.
