Product Description
Kyle Kramer's
A Time to Plant
is the honest and uplifting story of his attempt to come to know God, himself, and the joys of real community through heeding the call of modern-day prophets like Wendell Berry and becoming an organic farmer. In the spring of 2000, Kramer, an earnest and ambitious teacher at a private school in Atlanta, decided to forego a promising academic career in order to start a small farm. Buying some hardscrabble land in southern Indiana and tending it back to health, he founded Genesis Organic Farm and began to live the dream of growing organic, in-season produce for his community and crafting a self-sustaining and environmentally-friendly home. However, he soon faced the tough realities of loneliness, his beginner (and outsider) status, his own mixed motives, and the need for off-farm income. Taking a job, Kramer became a teacher at St. Meinrad's, a Benedictine college and abbey, a move that proved fortuitous for his farm and his spiritual life. Kramer's account of the joys and struggles of building a home and family; coming to know a community; and cultivating a relationship with God is a meditation on hope -- for a life well-lived, for fellowship and belonging and for emotional and spiritual maturity. It is a story about having the courage to pursue one's ideals and to reassess those ideals when some of them are shown to be phantasms of ego. It is a deeply human story -- one from which readers will draw inspiration, joy, and hope.
