"We could learn about pigs--we're college graduates." This line, spoken by her husband Ross early in their marriage, sets the tone for the rest of Mathewson's new memoir, Hobby Farm. Two educated town kids dive into a rural adventure, full of confidence that they can figure it out. They do, more or less--sometimes easily, sometimes with a great deal of hassle. But always with richness, depth, and an unsinkable can-do attitude.
