On Applebutter Road: Reflections Of Life On A Farm

In this delightful volume, the author recounts her days growing up on a farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania during the 1930s and 40s. Through a series of related vignettes, the author discusses growing up as the youngest daughter of a strict Mennonite father who thought the game of Monopoly and playing cards were a sin and how her mother made seasonal dishes long before farm-to-table was a thing. Learn how to make ice cream, scrapple, and sausage, how to render lard, how to plant a row of vegetables, how to harvest wheat or corn, and many other everyday chores. Also, read about visiting the big cities of Doylestown and Philadelphia. This is a fascinating stroll through a forgotten time by a surprisingly charming writer. The author's humor and pleasant personality shine through every page.
