I just started reading Farm and Other F Words by Sarah Mock, nonfiction about small family farms and why they succeed or fail. So far she's discussed the American cultural obsession with these farms, and how it can be more about a fantasy of an idyllic, morally upright, "back to the land" life than about the realities of agriculture and the fact that small farms are really small businesses. I live in a rural state with a lot of these small farms, and I definitely see where she's coming from.

Omg I have to go find this!

The popular image of a small family farm cracks me up. It's essentially a children's book version of a real family farm.

I'll have to look for that book.

Edit: The cover of the book. It's perfect! And it's on my TBR pile now.

You know, I hadn't even seen the cover because I got it on an interlibrary loan and it's covered up by the sheet attached to it saying where it needs to go back to. But you're right, the cover is very appropriate!
