Lifelong country dweller shares a collection of writings about rural living, gardening with wildlife, pets, kids and a favorite recipe
Julianne J. Johnson releases 'Food, Feathers and Fur: Cooking and Critters From the Farm at Cricket Meadow'
LITCHFIELD, Minn., June 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Having lived her whole life on a farm in the presence of animals, planting, gardening, cooking and writing, Julianne J. Johnson could not help but pull together a collection of her favorite foods and feathered and furry friends. It is for this reason she now releases "Food, Feathers and Fur: Cooking and Critters From the Farm at Cricket Meadow" (published by Archway Publishing).
This collection of essays and recipes gives a glimpse into Johnson's experiences at country living with a variety of birds and animals and savoring the bounty of the annual harvest from the garden, field and forest combined with some of her favorite, tried and true kitchen delights.
An excerpt from the book reads:
When we moved to this acreage many years ago, I was enchanted that first fall by the sights and sounds of the season—geese honking a lonely call as they made their formation overhead; cornstalks rattling in the crisp autumn breeze, ready for harvest; a golden autumn moon hanging low over the pond. But what struck me most was the constant chirp of crickets in the meadow. Hence, the name Cricket Meadow Farm.
"This is a homey and cozy collection of writings about rural life, gardening and wildlife surrounded by pets and kids from a lifelong country dweller. It is pure honesty and a marriage of the ugly truth interspersed with sprinkles of beauty," Johnson says. When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, she answered, "How much joy can be taken in the very simplest of things, how honest a friend a pet can be and how the cycles of the seasons provide newness and hope."
