East Tennessee farmer Brian Miller discusses his new book “Kayaking with Lambs” with Jason and Josh.
The book, published by Front Porch Republic, features a panoply of sensorial and spiritual experiences observed over 25 years of farming and animal husbandry.
Our conversation slaloms around Brian’s roots in anarchism and how these led him to an agrarian life, the need for renewed manual competency and appreciation for the practical arts particularly among the youth, gender relationships, and the reasonable choice of firearms for homestead protection, and the difficulties implied by rural gentrification.
Brian runs Winged Elm Farm with his wife Cindy, blogs at South Roane Agrarian, and can be reached at bmiller@wingedelmfarm.com.
