A Farmhouse Notebook
By Margaret Freeman Osha
Trade paperback; 198 pages
Publisher‘s list price: $25
Foreword by Tim Calabro, editor, White River Valley Herald
From a cabin overlooking a sheep pasture in Brookfield, Vermont, Margaret Freeman Osha mines New England’s agricultural past for practical wisdom to share with the readers of her hometown newspaper. Her deep love of Vermont and its people shapes every page of A Farmhouse Notebook, a collection of stories, drawings, and recipes first published in the White River Valley Herald. The book centers on producing, preserving, and preparing food—knowledge that Osha began sharing through cooking classes in her farmhouse kitchen. Her wisdom applies wherever people seek a deeper connection to the food they eat and the land it springs from.

“Margaret beautifully captures Vermont’s spirit in this delightful book. From the barn to the back porch to the pantry, her stories celebrate the people, places, and traditions that define the Green Mountains and honor those who live off the land.”

“As Fred Rogers said, ‘Try your best to make goodness attractive.’
A Farmhouse Notebook does just that. Osha’s stories glow with the equipoise of a life lived within the territory of hard work, necessity, wild nature, and practical solutions.”
