"This is a lovely story of passion, persistence and patience as two refugees from pharma and finance build a business to grow plants, goats and community in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Catherine and Al Renzi delight the reader from start to finish with their challenges and stories." - Jane Pepper, Former President of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
"A very fun and fascinating read, Catherine and Al have channeled all of their passion, creativity and entrepreneurial experience into this book, which confidently reminds us that life is a lovely journey full of opportunity."- Bill Covaleski, Founder, Victory Brewing Company

"Catherine and Al devoted over 20 years to environmental stewardship and regenerative agriculture. This narrative I read in one sitting. My only regret is that I was too absorbed in my own work to have more intimately enjoyed the fruits of their labor. Either the Native Plant Nursery or the Artisanal goat dairy would by themselves have been a profound life journey. Both together- monumental!"

- Terry Brett, Co-founder, Kimberton Whole Foods


Find out how two middle-aged career changers with five college degrees grow to meet the challenges of sustainably farming what was once a 19th century dairy about an hour from Philadelphia. Time spent sharing the Yellow Springs Farm story offers a humorous respite for wannabe farmers rushing to keep pace in corporate cubicles, car pools, and Cyberspace. Follow the planning and restoration of the farm landscape and its buildings. Meet the growing four-legged family members, and all the plants, animals, and other creatures that call Yellow Springs Farm home. Join the Renzis' on cheese journeys as they explore goat dairies in Italy, Portugal, Uruguay, and beyond, always seeking inspiration in pursuit of making the very finest artisanal goat cheeses. The book is a spirited memoir highlighting a love for food, together with passions for land and community.
Prior to establishing Yellow Springs Farm in 2000 in Chester Springs, PA, Catherine and Al Renzi had corporate business careers. During 20 years of farming, the Renzis operated a native plants nursery, bred Nubian goats, and created dozens of fresh and aged goat cheese varieties. Many cheeses incorporated plants from the farm, and were American Cheese Society award-winners. The cheeses enjoyed distribution with Whole Foods Markets, specialty stores, and fine restaurants.
