At Crossroads with Chickens: A "what If It Works?" Adventure in Off-Grid Living & Quest for Home

Tory McCagg

4.9/5 (22964 ratings)

Description:In 2012, McCagg and her husband, Carl built an off-grid, solar-powered house in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. It was to be a weekend getaway for the writer ("what's this pitchfork for?") and trombonist (a wannabe farmer). In December, with two cats and six newly adopted chicks, they drove up to Jaffrey from their home in Providence, Rhode Island, ostensibly just for the winter so their new pipes wouldn't freeze. . . . But their hen "Rhoda Red" turned out to be "Big Red." Roosters are outlawed by Providence city regulations, so Big Red couldn't go back. Thus, writes McCagg, "neither did we. Survival of the fittest. Natural selection. Soul evolution. We named our 193-acre home "Darwin's View" for a reason." Chicken kerfuffles lighten the mood, but this story is born of heartbreak, of yearning for the great beauty of the world as it used to be. As she moves from full-time weekender to organic gardener, McCagg's interlaces her tale with her mother's battle with Parkinson's, braiding both Mother and Mother Nature. Add the sun, the wind, and a cock-a-doodle-do, and you have the recipe for a perfect storm of personal growth rippling out to effect a larger transformation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
