Structured around an 1867 daily work diary by Amenia Union farmer Ed Dean, Home Farm is elaborately enriched by Julian's own farm diary entries, commentaries, poems, stories, and observations, including how-to's and farm-life fundamentals — fence-building, machinery-loving, tool-using, everything-fixing, hard-working, maple-syruping, and good-neighboring. It is rich in local history, and expresses Julian's passion for agrarianism, for rural community, and for the past and future of agriculture. Essays by his grown children add further perspective to this wide-ranging consideration of the changes and continuities of farming, from the 1800s to now.
