Books & Brews: The Keep: Living with the Tame and the Wild on a Mountainside Farm

WMRA’s September Books & Brews will feature Henry and Priscilla Ireys, authors of The Keep, Living with the Tame and the Wild on a Mountainside Farm.

About the Book:

When a mid-life couple finds an old farm that promises refuge from hectic lives and encroaching illness, their world opens up to unexpected adventures: breeding heritage goats, hogs, and cattle; managing a half-dozen large guardian dogs; dealing with barn fires, rapacious logging, and the death of treasured animals. The farm and the surrounding forest also lead to surprising moments of beauty-from sublime sunsets and powerful connections with animals to an outpouring of help from neighbors.


Signed copies of The Keep, Living with the Tame and the Wild on a Mountainside Farm will be available at the event and online at Stone Soup Books - https://www.stonesoupbooks.net

We will also have a representative from the Virginia Cooperative Extension on site with more information about local agriculture and farm-to-table practices.

WMRA's Books & Brews is made possible thanks to our series sponsor, Gaines Group Architects. The Gaines Group has offices in Charlottesville and Harrisonburg.
