Bromfield’s personal account of life and environmental practice at his Malabar Farm

Louis Bromfield
Louis Bromfield was an American author and conservationist. A bestselling novelist in the 1920s, he reinvented himself as a farmer in the late 1930s and became one of the earliest proponents of sustainable and organic agriculture in the United States. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his novel Early Autumn, which earned him national recognition for its startling depth of insight and brilliant portrayal of the challenges to old New England society. He is also the founder of the experimental Malabar Farm near Mansfield, Ohio.
