"Of The Earth" is a compilation of oral histories garnered from Oswego County muck farmers. Oswego County, located in Central New York, is home to about 4,000 acres of muck land, an organic-rich soil that produces high-quality vegetables. The book includes narration by muck farmers, their families, neighbors and agricultural support staff on how the mucks were formed and modernized and why living a muck-farm life is a unique experience. Includes photographs and maps to illustrate the stories.
