I just read a fun book called The Dirty Life by Kristin Kimball. Kimball was a Manhattanite writer who was enjoying her city life when an assignment took her out to a farm in Pennsylvania. One thing led to another & she fell in love with the farmer. The two of them moved to NY to launch an organic CSA, and the book is her story of going from urbanite to modern-day farmer. (Though modern-day is a bit of a misnomer, since her husband has disdain for a lot of modern things--such as tractors--so they farm with teams of horses.)

It was a really enjoyable book.
