Simply the Greatest Life: Finding Myself in the Country

In this long-awaited sequel, “America’s James Herriot” over-delivers on his continuing Greatest Life rural saga with some (simple) twists:

• A community-built home of sticks, straw and stone

• In-house utilities-solar electricity, bicycle-pumped rainwater, compost toilets, wood cookstove

• Amish friends, neighbors, business associates, and partners-in-crime

Comical green homesteading, lunatic natural farming, Amish neighbor anecdotes, and the amazing chicken plucker “business from heaven” backdrop Schafer’s insightful, hilarious, and charming stories and lead, ultimately, to his own liberating self-discovery.

Join sustainable farming pioneers as they walk the talk to adopt a sustainable lifestyle, not by living without but by living full out—with simplicity built in! Heartwarming, instructive, and entertaining, Simply the Greatest Life is a country-fresh collection of stories that will inspire you to the best version of your life.
