Originally intended to be a yearlong creative sabbatical, Brooks's relocation became permanent. Farm from Home is her chronicle of newfound freedom, told through a year's changing seasons. She describes the adjustment to her new surroundings with gorgeous detail and photographs, finding joy in unexpected moments and punctuating each month with delicious recipes that use ingredients from her own garden and farm.
