One fateful day in 1996, upon discovering that five freight cars’ worth of glittering corn have reaped a tiny profit of $18.16, young Forrest Pritchard undertakes to save his family’s farm. What ensues—through hilarious encounters with all manner of livestock and colorful local characters—is a crash course in sustainable agriculture. Pritchard’s biggest ally is his renegade father, who initially questions his career choice and eschews organic foods for sugary mainstream fare; but just when the farm starts to turn heads at local markets, his father’s health takes a turn for the worse.With poetry and humor, this timely memoir tugs on the heartstrings and feeds the soul long after the last page is turned.

I saw this book advertised on BookBub on 5/25/15 and thought, "For $1.99 how far wrong can I go?" Nevertheless, I left it on the shelf until yesterday.My pet peeve is profanity; when I come across it, I will generally close the book and hardly think of it again. However, with this book I kept reading, perhaps because it was all put in appropriate context.Mr. Pritchard praised his editor to the skies, and frankly, I hardly think he overrated her, if at all. I cannot know what she did for him creatively or synergistically, but the type of editing and proofreading that's normally done on the last pass looks unparalleled to me in how thorough it appears to have been. Other than a 3-year-old becoming a 5-year-old after only one year, I think I might have seen a misplaced comma. It is grounds for being inordinately proud in my estimation.Now getting to the heart of the book, I regret letting the 6 weeks from 5/25 to yesterday slide by while Gaining Ground gathered dust and am only too glad I finally blew it off and read the book. I felt I was being spirited along and have hardly been able to put it down since I picked it up.I drive through huge farms on the interstate where many times I've seen signs that say "Food grows where water flows." Water has to be piped in in my neck of the woods. It seems like a crime for the Shenandoah Valley to have been allowed to be turned into something other than farmland considering how ideal conditions are for farming. This book helped me put many, many aspects of the farm-to-table process into perspective. I felt so grieved to read of Mr. Pritchard's many brethren who have felt they had no alternative but to sell. On the other hand, reading of how he encouraged all of us to support sustainable farming in our own back yards was truly heartwarming.Thanks, Mr. Pritchard, for a great read! More importantly, thanks for putting so much of yourself into making a difference!
