From Maine to Arizona, and back again, Margaret and Karl and their dog, Godfrey, travel across America in search of green pastures, simple tradition, and the perfect goat cheese.
A fascinating one-year sojourn across America in search of greener pastures-and the finest goat cheese* Many people dream of leaving the workaday world for a life of simplicity and freedom, and Margaret Hathaway and her then-boyfriend Karl did just that. In The Year of the Goat, the reader can jump in the "goat mobile" with them as they ditch their big-city lifestyle to trek across forty-three states in search of greener pastures and the perfect goat cheese. Along the way, the reader is introduced to a vivid cast of characters-including farmers, breeders, cheese makers, and world-class chefs-and discovers everything there is to know about goats and getting back to the land. But readers beware: When it comes to goat cheese, it can be love at first bite. "Hathaway's descriptions of the various characters they meet-both human and goat-are funny and vivid...This is a book for anyone who's ever imagined going back in time to a simpler life-or anyone who loves cheese."-Entertainment Weekly "Back-to-the-land fantasies aren't new, but Hathaway gives theirs a modern twist."-Publishers Weekly
