• This Old Farm brings back memories. I loved the book, This Old Farm. The memories it brought back to me are some that I had forgotten for many years. The writers of This Old Farm knew exactly what they were talking about. I could smell the odors, see the colors, feel the grass, hear the sputter of the tractors and machines. It brought tears to my eyes as it brought back memories of my life on a farm while I was growing up.
