The same rings true for Alissa Hessler, who relocated from Seattle to rural Maine years ago and has never looked back. In this book she uses her wit, charm and experience to help you chart a path to successful country living. Ditch the City and Go Country covers the ins and outs of how to find a home, how to keep your current job remotely or where to look for a new one, how to own livestock and prepare for disasters, how to make a smooth transition and become a part of your new community and how to embrace the seasons. With this must-have guide, you’ll be able to stop daydreaming and finally live the life you’ve always wanted in the country. Alissa Hessler was inspired to launch her blog Urban Exodus after relocating to Maine in 2011. She has been featured in Modern Farmer, Popular Photography, Click Magazine and Maine Home.

Excerpt from Sketches of Rural Life, and Other Poems Miller The miller's wife has lost the bees That swarmed across the water, Why couldn't they swarm in the garden trees? But now, for aught she hears or sees, They're gone for good; she's ill at ease, And calls her pretty daughter. "Forego, my friend, your fuss and fright, For as sure as you're alive You'll get your bees again all right; Those sweet young eyes, so large and bright, Will find the swarm, and so ere night You'll stock another hive."
