Description

A six-figure executive trades his briefcase for barn boots in this hilarious and heartwarming memoir of starting a Vermont farm from scratch and discovering a whole new definition of success.

What happens when a burned-out executive with zero farming experience trades the city life for ducks, cows, and chaos on a forgotten farm in Vermont?

Morgan Gold thought the plan was simple: buy land, get animals, live happily ever after. What he didn't expect was a world where ducks escape at midnight, cows ignore fences, winter freezes your soul, and mistakes cost real money--or worse, real animals.

Dirt Rich Living: From Corporate Cubicles to Udder Chaos is the brutally honest, often hilarious story of starting over the hard way. With no manual, no backup plan, and no clue what he's doing, Morgan shares the flubs, the breakthroughs, and the grace that comes from betting big on yourself.

If you've ever dreamed of walking away from your old life--or if you just love a good story about falling flat and getting up again--this book will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe rethink your romantic notions of "the simple life."

Told with sharp humor, hard-won wisdom, and unexpected heart, Dirt Rich Living isn't about perfection in the countryside. It's about finding meaning in the mess.
