March Farm in Fall |
Nancy
McMillan had already fallen in love with the beautiful March Farm in Bethlehem,
Connecticut, by the time she decided to write a book about it. She'd met
an author at a farm event who had written about a dairy farm in Eastern
Connecticut, using photographs and narratives to document a year in its
life.
Nancy kept saying to herself, "Someone should do that for
March Farm here in Bethlehem."
"You know what happens when you start saying that: you're
that someone," she says.
Nancy had already gotten a few articles published; she wrote a
series of theater reviews for Warner Theater and essays for Edible
Nutmeg. And she was passionate about the locavore movement and
sustainability. So writing about March Farms fit her on many levels.
