Arlo Crawford grew up on a farm in rural Pennsylvania, and couldn't wait to get away... then, at 31, he moved back for several months while sorting out his next steps. A Farm Dies Once a Year is about what happened during that growing season, and how he came to a new understanding of his family's history and their livelihood.
