Farmer-poet Philip Britts was born in 1917 in Devon, England. Britts became a pacifist, joined the Bruderhof, and during World War II moved to South America. There, in 1949, he died of a rare tropical illness at the age of 31, leaving his wife, Joan, with three young children and fourth on the way. David Kline, an Amish organic farmer in Ohio, is the editor of Farming Magazine and author of three books: Letters from Larksong: An Amish Naturalist Explores His Organic Farm, Great Possessions: An Amish Farmer’s Journal, and Scratching the Woodchuck: Nature on an Amish Farm. Jennifer Harries, a member of the Bruderhof, was born in Llansamlet Wales and now lives in New York.

One of the most powerful books I’ve ever read. Alive with profound spiritual and practical insights, Britts’s words are timeless. You will be deeply moved by his humble conviction expressed in thoughtful action. --Joel Salatin, author, Folks, This Ain’t Normal
