Worn out by city practice, the narrator and his wife Polly hunt for land, buy a neglected farm, bore for water, hire a man and set about planning orchards, fences and buildings. Chapter by chapter he records the planting of trees, the poultry, the pigs, the arguments with carpenters and the arithmetic of making a small farm profitable.
