Off
the Farm is a collection of essays which originally appeared
as newspaper columns from 2001-2003. Eric Bergeson lives and
works in the Minnesota countryside. In this, his third book,
he focuses on ventures away from home, from travels to places
as far-flung as London, Paris, Summerhaven, AZ, New York City,
or the skies over Greenland, down to seemingly simple trips
to town for a meeting or a half-gallon of milk.

"Most
sequels are flat-out disappointing. Not so with Off the Farm.
if you enjoyed the wit and wisdom of Bergeson's previous two
books, these tales of Eric's adventures are sure to delight.
Relax, get comfortable, you're about to travel Off the Farm."

"For those
who have never had the pleasure, Bergeson's work offers a
sometimes biting, sometimes reverent, but almost always humorous
introduction to life in rural America."
