This book is amazing, though perhaps it has limited appeal.

The book is exactly what the title states - it's a snapshot of the various farms in Cape Cod. Gorgeous photography of the farms, famers, crops, flowers, animals, and even pets, are the focal point of the book. The text outlines the history of the farm & the farmer, what crops are grown, where you can buy the crops, if they have CSAs or not, and hints and tricks from the farmers for your own garden.

The book definitely focus on the "pretty" - living art, as "they" like to call it.

Any "good" book review shares the good and the bad, and I had to think a bit to come up with any "bad" comments, and my only negative is that the book in a way reads as an advertisement for the farms, and like I said in my first line, the book has limited appeal. My parents certainly shop farm stands & my dad grew up on a farm & we have our own small garden, and we live in MA, so you'd think they'd enjoy this book, but I can't see them sitting down and reading it, let alone purchasing it - though I think they'd appreciate it as a gift.… (más)
