This book is really funny!! The author, Doug Fine, decides after years of traveling the world, to settle down, buy a piece of land, and start raising goats.

This is actually a book about how "green" he was able to become in one year, with hilarious bits: his car attempting suicide in the first paragraph; the river rising, with his goat food on the other side; the wind storm while he's putting up a windmill. But my favorite part was when he converted a truck to vegetable oil - I started laughing so hard, I was crying - and crying so hard, that no sounds came out! The french fry and KFC jokes were over the top!

This book is great for people who want to chuck it all and start their own farm. It shows you the problems that will erupt and more. But it also packs it in with laughter.

You do have to admire a guy who decides to go into raising goats so that he can make ice cream!!
