Pennsylvania German Farms, Gardens, and Seeds

Author: Irwin Richman
Stars: 5
Review by: Mandy A

Utterly delightful. Focusing on PA's Landis Valley area, but covering a much wider swath, it is just what the title says. The agricultural folklore, history, practice, and origins of Pennsylvania German farming and food. Also goes into various pastimes, gender roles and the family, and gives a nice explanation of who the PA Germans are and why many technically aren't even German.
