Farmers Finding Freedom
While still enjoying ‘Curiosity - Farmers Discovering What Works’ on a regular basis by being able to reread individual essays (or listen to the audiobook version) when specific points, strategies or wisdom shared by a diverse range of farmers, often it is also reading chapters by many I have had the pleasure of crossing paths with and admire for how they have addressed their resource concerns, in itself is a great resource and inspiration.
To build upon this vast coalescence of knowledge with ‘Curiosity - Farmers Finding Freedom’ will further add a great quantity of thought-provoking ideas, advice and wisdom that can be applied to many facets of farm management and life. Curiosity, as defined in this book, will aid the reader to innovate most aspects of their enterprises or have the freedom and confidence that comes from knowing you’re on the right path with your own journey.
It is great to see the robust conversations had among people at Curious Cockie farm visits or other field days facilitated by John and his thoughtful questions fastidiously compiled into book form for many others to enjoy.
