"A born storyteller springs from the soil in farmer Dan's virtuoso book of personal essays. This author is the new American master of nature writing," Daniel Klein NY Times bestselling author of Plato and a Platypus walk into a Bar.

There's an old joke about farming that is as appropriate today as it was when first told. "How do you make a small fortune in farming? You start out with a large one." Dan didn't start out with a large fortune but he had a great deal of determination. Taft Farms, Inc. started with a five-year-old boy on the front lawn selling a few veggies under a beach umbrella. Green is a collection of short stories covering a 70-year span, from childhood events to adulthood lessons, and the formation of Taft Farms, all of which have shaped Dan's life, on the land and elsewhere. Read by the author, this easy-to-listen to collection of stories is the perfect gift for Dad. The audiobook is followed by a very special interview in which the author sits down with producer Alison Larkin and, in a world gone mad, talks about the simple things that really matter.
