Kristy Athens’ New Book, “Get Your Pitchfork On!”

February 18, 2012 By Becky Kjelstrom

Pitchfork CoverKristy Athens has a new book out called Get Your Pitchfork On! The Real Dirt on Country Living. Kristy and husband Michael always dreamed of living in the country, and finally were able to purchase land in the Columbia River Gorge. There they learned just how challenging rural life could be. The book provides the practical, and often funny, hard-learned lessons of rural living for city folks in over their heads.
