Horse-Drawn Yogurt: Stories from Total Loss Farm

In the 1970s, more than a million young people moved to farms and communes all over the U.S. There was a war on, and they wanted no part of it. This is a book about those days and one of those communes, told by Peter Gould, one of Vermont's master storytellers, known for decades to fans of Burnt Toast, Gould & Stearns, A Peasant of El Salvador, and Write Naked.

Horse-Drawn Yogurt is an exquisite memoir of a special time: the years of the back-to-the-land movement. But it is also a magical, unfolding mystery. What could this peculiar title mean? There's one way to find out.

'Peter's tone-perfect narratives capture the danger, the disappointments, the joys of living a life of meaning...and the thrill of expanding the heart's perimeter to include everyone you meet. Horse-Drawn Yogurt is a great read by a fine writer. It's glorious!' -Peter Coyote 

 'Gould's prose is so intimate that you trust every word.' -Yvonne Daley

 'Vivid, honest, and well-written, not only informative but it's an important part of Vermont history.' -The Brattleboro Reformer

'There's so much fun to be had on this ride. Peter Gould is a straight-up magician.' -Tim Weed

 'I love Peter Gould's work. We go a long way back.' -U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy
