Book Talk with Carole Soule: Yes, I Name Them

On Friday, December 1, at 3:30pm, author Carole Soule will give a talk about her newly released memoir, Yes, I Name Them: Life, Death, and Miracles on a Small New Hampshire Farm. This event is free and open to the public.

“Is it possible to love animals and raise them to become meat? Years ago, Carole was a vegetarian then she became a farmer. Naming every animal connects her to each one, and shows respect and affection for them, no matter their role on the farm.  Livestock farming is full of adventure, hardship, and a few victories. It’s as horrible as picking up after a coyote massacre of sheep or as gratifying as working a mighty pair of Scottish Highlander oxen. Often humorous and sometimes tragic, this book connects readers to a once-common farming way of life. This book is for all of you.”

Carole Soule is co-owner of Miles Smith Farm (www.milessmithfarm.com) in Loudon, N.H., where she shares the joys of her farm with kids, adults and a herd of cattle.
