"Nicola Smith chronicles the lives of two Vermonters living a rural and picturesque life -- something often misleadingly called the simple life. Harvest tells the story of two Vermonters, Jennifer Megyesi and Kyle Jones, as they plow their time, money and energies into an organic farm, where all the hard work of a modern farm is compounded by giving up many of the modern chemicals and conveniences of conventional farming. Organic farmers in rural America are forging strong bonds with organic consumers -- many, in highly urbanized settings -- in the rapid emergence of this vital new market that is benefiting family farms in Vermont and from coast to coast."
- U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Vermonter, "father" of the national organic standards and labeling program, and member of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
