David Mas Masumoto works a family farm, growing organic peaches, nectarines, and grapes. When Masumoto?s father has a stroke on the fields of their eighty-acre farm, Masumoto confronts life?s big questions: What do his and his father?s lives mean? What have they lived and worked for? ?A fiercely tender book? (Deborah Madison), Wisdom of the Last Farmer ?tells the most fascinating kind of story, reminding us that, at its best and most authentic, organic farming requires not only soul, but intimate knowledge of place, a deep grasp of subjects ranging from plant physiology to tractor repair, and unrelenting physical labor? (onEarth magazine). In the harvest of his father?s wisdom, and his own, gathered from a lifetime of farming and surviving, Mas finds the natural connections between generation and succession and life, death, and renewal. He tells how to tend and make things grow, and how to know when to let nature take over, weaving together stories of life and death to reveal age-old wisdom in what the The Oregonian called a ?sweet taste of farming, family, loyalty, and dignity.? With insights full of beautiful, lyrical descriptions on how to nurture both the tangible and intangible, Masumoto?s quiet eloquence reveals how our own destinies are involved in the future of our food, the land, and the farm.
