Hit by a Farm: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Barn Audiobook

" Convinced me to never raise sheep. It did, however, sell me on the idea of guard llamas. "

" I loved Sheepish and went back to get this one, which preceded it. I think I like Sheepish better, as for this kind of book, in Sheepish the author is more settled and content, and it's more about the farm and life than a memoir/growth story. This is similar to the latter, but the author is younger and it shows. Sheepish (which I recommend highly) will go on my shelf as a good read to return to, this one might not. That said, it's a fun quick read. "

" I loved this book. What an interesting journey, both internal and extenal. Plus, she is so funny. I read another good farm book after this one, that I liked, but I so missed Catherine's sense of humor. Give me any farm book written with real honesty and humor and I'm a happy camper. "

" I love a good book that makes me laugh out loud. This book earns that mark in spades. (Pun intended). "

" Great book - doesn't really pertain to my own yard and gardening, but it was very entertaining to see what these two ladies have gone through in establishing their farm. "

" Great book. I loved all the animal stories. Chickens have belly buttons, llamas pee backwards (his penis can swivel), and ducks have corkscrew penises. A great book about boundaries and relationships and the two together. "

" interesting, had to have mom bring it from minnesota for me .. "

" If you live or have lived on a farm, or if you're thinking of living off the land, you should read this book because you'll know exactly what the author went through to establish a farm. crazy shit. "

" okay book. if you're interested in farming with sheep, or just farming at all, better read this book first. true story. "

" Lesbian couple buys a farm. I enjoyed reading about what all went into buying and working the farm. Lots about chickens, sheep and dogs. "

" Funny and sobering read for a fantasy farmer like myself! Quickly on to read "Sheepish", the follow-up. "

" Fun & entertaining. Read by the author. Warning though, some parts of farm life are sad. "

" Hit by a Farm is both hilarious and harrowing, and altogether hard to put down. (Just don't read it in a place where you'll get in trouble for laughing ...) The only problem with this book is that it's too short! I hope she writes a sequel. "

" This was the right book to read as I began my new year at my new farmhouse! I loved reading the memoirs of a fellow lesbian.. I know it would still have been applicable if she had been straight, but it felt good to read normal stories of a normal woman who happened to be like me. "

" It's fantastic and didn't matter that i read her books out of order of publishing. I will keep her on my to read anything knew she writes list :) "

" Too much fixation on sex. Yes, breeding happens on a farm. No, we readers do not need to hear about it in full detail every 5 minutes. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was witty and entertaining and I just loved the author's voice. I was pleasantly surprised to learn she wrote the children's book "The Perfect Nest" which I loved! "

" Catherine Friend spins (ha!) a wild tale of farm ownership, relationship woes and general hilarity. I think everyone would like this book, especially Minnesotans with any interst in at all in small scale farming and pasture-raised sheep. "

" Funny and insightful. A little slower than I expected, but maybe I'm just not used to adult books anymore. :) I want to go find their farm! Lots to ponder about work, balance, and especially relationships. Sad moments, happy moments, funny moments-- and typical animal story emotions abound. "

" Who knew starting a sheep farm could be so entertaining?? "

" trite, coulda seen it coming "

" I loved reading this book. It's quick and funny, yet had moments that made me stop and think or that made me tear up a bit. My next mission now is to go and visit this farm! "
