This Book is Growing on Me: Part 2

A brief review of Growing a Farmer by Kurt Timmermeister.

This book starts getting more interesting during the second half as Kurt Timmermeister has already established himself as a farmer. Shifting away from describing his struggles he now moves into describing a section of his food endeavors in each chapter. Timmermeister focuses on the production of cheese, which is his area of expertise, but also describes growing vegetables and caring for pigs.

As opposed to the first section of the book that somewhat bored me for its monotony, the second half was more intriguing. Even though there was less drama during this section, the descriptions of each section of farming seem more true to what the book should be about. These sections are more specific to the farming itself and what Kurt learned. Thus, these sections work as a way of learning about the industry and not only learning about Kurt's life.
