There is a flood of news coverage of the war in Gaza and Israel, but one thing you probably haven't heard is that farmers in much of Israel were evacuated from their farms to escape the ongoing rocket barrage of Israeli civilian areas. Israeli farms will not get through this crisis without help. Donate to save a farm.

    I'm back in a farm-lit reading phase. I needed some space after writing/living in the genre - but so glad to have picked up two of the latest books by Australian authors. One hilarious, the other hauntingly thoughtful and beautiful. What are your favourite farmlit books? Are they funny or sobering?

    -lit @bookstodon

    4 books lie on timber slats. The first book has a dark background with a photo of a ewe looking towards its lamb. The title is 'Graft: Motherhood, Family and a Year On the Land' by Maggie McKellar. The book next to it shows a vineyard with a bright blue sky. This book's title is 'Growing Grapes Might be Fun: How We Made a Vineyard Out of A Junkyard on Cockatoo Hill' by Deirdre Macken. The next book shows the blue-shirted torso of a farmer holding fresh-picked greens. The title is: Small Farm Success Australia: How to Make a Life and a Living on the Land. The final book has a photo of a table strewn with herbs and flowers and crafts and candle. The title is 'Honey Farm Dreaming: A Memoir About Sustainability, Small Farming and the Not-So Simple Life' by author Anna Featherstone.

    we knew what made us happy
    Because it still does!

    *As a child animals always brought me joy! I grew up with all of your typical farm buddies. But the some were special. The first thing I did when we got our homestead was find some goats! One of my current babies on the right. Chino.
