Hopkins is the Erma Bombeck of organic farming, and that's high praise if you remember the mid-century 'housewife' and stealth feminist with 30 million readers. Hopkins paints herself as a citified klutz with a black thumb whose first crop of bug-eaten greens gets disdainful looks from shoppers. But farming changes her. She starts as a vegan with a hankering for eggs and discovers, in one hysterically funny chapter, that those cute chicks hatch into hens (good for eggs) or roosters (who like to gang-rape the hens) until they find new homes as dinner. Her relationship with Emmett changes, too, but that romantic tale is left to Hopkins. Earthy but urbane, and addictively readable. -- Booklist <br> The new food economy we so desperately need is being built on the strong backs of young people like Lynda Hopkins. This book is funny, real, and deeply deeply hopeful! -- Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth <br> We owe two debts of gratitude to Lynda Hopkins. The first for being crazys
