This section holds first-person accounts, letters, oral histories and personal writings that offer direct windows into agricultural and rural life. These are the lived voices – not summaries, but experiences in people’s own words. They bring texture, nuance and humanity to the broader historical and agricultural record.
● About Me

I’m Tara, the shepherd and author behind this blog. A first-generation, non-knitting shepherd, I came to this life through land stewardship and a commitment to conservation. From the ground up.
