One Vermont family, four seasons, and the real work behind your food.

This is the true story of how you get your milk. And because it unfolds on a family dairy farm in Vermont, it's also the true story of how you get delicious, Grade A maple syrup.

Author Alan Pistorius lived for a full year with the Treadway family, sharing their work and play, their joys and worries. He records all four seasons of farm life: planting in the spring, baling hay in the summer, harvesting corn in the fall, and hanging sap buckets for maple syrup in the winter. The result is a powerful, close-up meditation on farming, small business, and family. It is also a portrait of a rural way of life that is vanishing too fast.

In the tradition of Richard Rhodes's Farm, this is immersive agricultural nonfiction for readers drawn to the real rhythms of working the land in New England.
