How Maya got fierce / by Charaipotra, Sona.;
Maya dreams of working in magazines. But as the daughter of garlic farmers, her path is set: It's off to Cow Camp instead. And when she accidentally destroys valuable property and gets kicked out of the program, she can't tell her parents--or ask for the thousands of dollars she owes. Desperate to earn enough to pay for her mistake, Maya interviews for an internship at Fierce fashion magazine--and ends up getting a full-time job offer! The only problem? They think she's 26. Maya is so close to making her dreams come true, even if the glam life at Fierce isn't quite as shiny and fun as she hoped. But when she suggests the perfect candidate for a big story--and manages to get the scoop--all eyes are on her. How long can she keep her real age from her boss--and her real life from her parents?LSC

True confessions from the ninth concession / by Needles, Dan,author.;
"In 1988, Needles and his wife left the city to start a family in a country community located two hours north of Toronto. Together they stocked their farm with sheep, cattle, chickens, pigs and, eventually, four children. Needles' charming chronicle unfolds in essays dated from 1997 to 2016, offering homespun advice for successful country living--like whether to wave from the elbow or to merely raise one finger from the steering wheel when passing a neighbour in the car. He cautions on rural superstitions, such as when his neighbour hesitated before selling him weaner pigs because every time he does the wife of the farmer who's buying them becomes pregnant--which turned out to be true. Here too is the tale of an unlikely friendship between a "borderline" collie ("he's never bitten anything in his life and the sheep are catching on") and an odd duck named Ferdinand, as well as other hilarious stories involving an assortment of farm animals, including the weapon of choice to properly dispatch a rooster-gone-bad; the risks of giving a name to a potential Sunday dinner entrée; and how to outsmart a free-range pig. With his witty insight, Needles shares the art of neighbouring in the country--a place made for visits, and "where a figure walking across your field is more of a reason to put the kettle on than to call the police." True Confessions from the Ninth Concession is a sesquicentennial crop of antics and aphorisms by Canada's funniest farmer--one that presents a wonderful escape for world-weary city dwellers, and affirmative reading for anyone who is from, or has moved to, rural Canada."--

The growing season : how I built a new life-- and saved an American farm / by Frey, Sarah,author.;
The youngest of her parents' combined twenty-one children, Sarah Frey grew up on a struggling farm in Southern Illinois, often having to grow, catch, or hunt her own dinner. She spent much of her early childhood dreaming of running away to Hollywood, Chicago -- or really anywhere with central heating. At fifteen, she moved out of her family home and started her own fresh produce delivery business with nothing more than an old pickup truck. Two years later, when the family farm faced inevitable foreclosure, Sarah gave up on her dreams of escape, and, at seventeen, took over the farm and started her own produce company there. Refusing to play by traditional rules, Sarah talked her way into suit-filled boardrooms, made deals with the nation's largest retailers, and became so legendary that the Harvard Business School published a case study on her negotiation skills. Today, Sarah's family-operated company, Frey Farms, has sold more than a billion dollars' worth of fresh produce, beverages, and consumer packaged goods, and has become one of America's largest fresh produce suppliers, with farmland spread across seven states. This is the inspiring story of how a scrappy rural childhood gave Sarah the grit and resiliency to take risks that paid off in unexpected ways. Rather than leaving her community, Sarah found adventure and opportunity in one of the most forgotten parts of our country. With fearlessness and creativity, she literally dug her destiny out of the dirt.

The homecoming / by Moore, Roland,author.;
Land Girl, Connie Carter, thought she'd finally left her past behind once and for all when she married Henry Jameson, Helmstead's vicar and the love of her life. Headstrong Connie and mild-mannered Henry might be different as chalk and cheese, but she's determined to be the best wife she can be and prove the village gossips wrong. But Connie doesn't really believe that she belongs in Henry's genteel world of tea-drinking and jam-making, and the cracks are already starting to show. When Connie's heroism makes her front page news, her past comes back to haunt her in a terrifying way. A different kind of war has come to Helmstead, and soon it's a fight for both their marriage and their lives.
