Epitaph for a Peach: Four Seasons on My Family Farm by David Mas Masumoto

2.0

Some parts of this were quite interesting--I liked learning about the mechanics of peach farming, particularly about hand-harvesting and all the peach packing equipment (defuzzers!) and pruning. This was written in 1995, before The Omnivore's Dilemma and before writing about small farms became trendy, so reading it now I definitely encountered a number of explanations for things that I already knew. Some parts I found boring and I wasn't a huge fan of the author's more philosophical passages--the writing wasn't that interesting to me.
