Judith Moffett's year as a subsistence farmer reveals the intricate connections within nature while she engages in various agricultural activities like potato planting and honey extraction. Temporarily stepping away from her academic and writing pursuits, she and her husband immerse themselves in the realities of homesteading on a suburban plot near Philadelphia. This experience not only teaches her about food production but also deepens her understanding of the environmental interdependencies that sustain life.
