Synopsis

In the 1970s, more than a million young people moved to farms and communes all over the U.S. There was a war on, and they wanted no part of it. This is a book about those days and one of those communes, told by Peter Gould, one of Vermont's master storytellers, known for decades to fans of Burnt Toast, Gould & Stearns, A Peasant of El Salvador, and Write Naked.Horse-Drawn Yogurt is an exquisite memoir of a special time: the years of the back-to-the-land movement. But it is also a magical, unfolding mystery. What could this peculiar title mean? There's one way to find out."Peter's tone-perfect narratives capture the danger, the disappointments, the joys of living a life of meaning...and the thrill of expanding the heart's perimeter to include everyone you meet. Horse-Drawn Yogurt is a great read by a fine writer. It's glorious!" -Peter Coyote  "Gould's prose is so intimate that you trust every word." -Yvonne Daley "Vivid, honest, and well-written, not only informative but it's an important part of Vermont history." -The Brattleboro Reformer"There's so much fun to be had on this ride. Peter Gould is a straight-up magician." -Tim Weed "I love Peter Gould's work. We go a long way back." -U.S. Senator Patrick LeahyREAD BY THE AUTHOR. Second Edition, New and Revised.Recorded and mastered at Guilford Sound, Guilford, Vermont.

Goodreads review by William on August 26, 2017

Wow. A journey back to what now seems like another planet. The author, Peter Gould, was one of the early members of Total Loss Farm, one of the more successful communes in rural Vermont. This is some of his musings from a time gone by. a more naïve, more innocent time. Wish we could go back.......more
