Description

Robert Whitescarver and his wife Jeanne live on a cattle farm in Swoope, Va. in the Shenandoah Valley. Whitescarver's stories and journal entries tell tales of combining good farming and good conservation practices on a life journey that has produced a healthier ecosystem and a cleaner Chesapeake Bay. You will laugh and cry as you travel into a world of wide open spaces, shrikes, calf cookers, riparian buffers, and cow pies.
