Island Farm

Blending personal memoir with philosophical reflection, this work explores the American agrarian tradition through the lens of the Versluis family's orchards in Michigan. Arthur Versluis shares his experiences growing up on the family farm, founded over a century ago, while contemplating the cultural loss associated with the decline of farmland. The narrative serves as both a tribute to generational farming and a meditation on humanity's connection to the earth, emphasizing the significance of preserving these vital landscapes for future generations.
