“Suzan writes with dirt under her fingernails and hope in her heart, challenging conventional ag wisdom while illuminating a path forward. Her stories about connecting with the land don’t just inspire—they make you question everything you thought you knew about “good farming.” Through her lens, farming transforms into a vision of possibilities, not just profits.”

“From the heart of Iowa, Suzan Erem invites us through personal essays to see an often overlooked part of the rural United States -- the progressive part. As someone from the birthplace of free healthcare in Canada that seems to have turned conservative, I love seeing this.”
