The Misfit Farm

Vanessa, an ex-paramedic, moved to rural Nova Scotia for a little peace and quiet. However, a devastating pandemic unveils very different plans for her and her husband's new farm. As society collapses, they are never sure who, or what, is going to turn up next! The growing micro-community must find ways to navigate a stream of challenges if they, and their relationships, are going to survive. Will preparation, hard work, and ingenuity be enough to save them? This is an uplifting and positive treatise for sustainability that challenges the glorification of convenience and western ultra-independence. It is inspired by real people, places, and events. There is also a hero dog that does not die.
