Two friends, one rich by local standards, and the other of more modest means,grow to manhood in a lifelong contest of will and character. In response tomany of the same circumstances—war, love, moonshining, the Klan, weather,the economy—their different approaches and solutions to dealing with theirsituations put them at odds with each other, but we are left with a deeper understanding of the world that they have inherited and have chosen. Part morality play and part personal recollection, The Last of the Husbandmen is both a lighthearted look at the past and a profound statement about the present state of farming life. It is also a novel that captures the spirit of those who have chosen to work the land they love.

Dear Reader, Within these pages are events that really did take place, over a five year period, on our 100 acre farm in Verulam Township, Victoria County, Ontario, that we hadnamed Active Acres . These stories will evoke laughter, and some may bring tears to your eyes as they recount the way food was grown on this farm firstly for private consumption then available as Farmgate Sales . Some of these memorable stories were sad and hard for me to write down, but most are full of laughs, fondly remembered, and just plain fun to retell. Some are age old scenarios, and others will have seasoned farmers just shaking their heads. In these chapters I have recounted the joys and sorrows, the trials and tribulations, our everyday life as two first time farmers and our animals like Cloudy the horse, Heidi the apple loving cow and her unusual partner Joey, and what we all had to go through (and put up with!) in order to make life on the farm worthwhile. There's even pictures!
