Kristy Athens and her husband Michael always had visions to get out of the city and get farming, and farm they did on the Washington side of the Columbia gorge. Get Your Pitchfork On! is an amusing and useful how-to from Kristy and her husband, based on their hard-earned personal experiences. It offers urban professionals the practical tools they need to realize their dream, with basics of home, farm, and hearth. It also enters territory that other books avoid--straightforward advice about the social aspects of country living, from health care to schools to small-town politics.
