A Year on a Dairy Farm
Twelve Months on a Finger Lakes Dairy
Twelve months on a working Finger Lakes dairy, told month by month — a February barn before dawn, a March calving, the milk check that has to add up, the migrant crew who do the haying, and the hard November decision. An honest, unsentimental year on the land.
