The Accidental Farmer’s Almanac

A year on a coffee farm, written down as it happened: essays, discoveries, mistakes, and a changing understanding of the land.

ABOUT THE ALMANAC

A record of attention

An almanac is part calendar, part notebook, part field guide, and part invitation to notice what changes. Farmers have kept them for centuries to track rain, planting and the turn of the seasons.

The Accidental Farmer’s Almanac carries that tradition to a coffee farm in the mountains of Puerto Rico. Each volume gathers the year’s Field Notes essays alongside seasonal writing, research notes, reflections on agriculture and economics, and paintings from the studio.

It records what a year of paying attention can teach, and leaves room for the next year to correct it.

For editors

I’ve been gathering material for the Almanac since 2017, the year I signed for the farm. The first volume, a retrospective of the early years, is planned for spring 2027 from Copper Mill Press.
