"Jenna's writing is deep, philosophical and true to her heart. ...
[her] little book changed my perspective to one of appreciation for
all we have now, for next season with even more growing space and
for a bug-free October day with dirt-covered hands and knees. ...
Thank you, Miss Woginrich, for the reminder to savor each day.

"A book of mindfulness, philosophy, music, musing, poetry, and the
re-emergence of the most ancient of religions ... this fine little
book is rich in loving immersion in a way of life, of
neighborliness, [and] in longing ... Even those tasks for which she
has had to hire or barter for help are enriching for her. And for
her readers, to which fortunate band I urge you to add
yourself."
"This small, beautifully illustrated book is one of the best farm
memoirs I've read. Woginrich's dedication to rural life is
inspiring. Her week-to-week recollection of a year on her "one
woman farm" shows all the joy she gains from her hard manual labor.
But she also maintains a healthy realism and reminds the reader
that farm life isn't for everyone. One Woman Farm: My Life Shared
with Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Goats, and a Fine Fiddle takes us from
October to October, a full calendar of baby animals, frozen land,
crop harvests, and solo holidays. The occasional handwritten recipe
and inspirational quote make the book feel almost like a
personalized guide to homesteading."--Nautilus Book Awards - Books

"One Woman Farm is a book to be savored, helping the reader to
contemplate what is truly important in life: sunrises, fresh food,
the love of hard work and having a purpose in life. Woginrich's
'observational spiritual farming' is a gift to the
reader."--SeriousEats.com
