A doctor left his practice to build the finest small farm he could afford, and wrote down every step. Streeter's story follows the hunting of the land, the building, and the making of an American farm meant to yield the fat of the land. Optimistic, detailed, and infectious. The dream of the model country place, fully realized.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
