Living with the Tame and the Wild on a Mountainside Farm with Henry Ireys

When Henry and Priscilla Ireys found an old farm that promised refuge from hectic lives and encroaching illness, their world opened to unexpected adventures and led to surprising moments of beauty-from sublime sunsets and powerful connections with animals to an outpouring of help from neighbors. The couple has written a book about their time on the Critton Creek Farm farm called The Keep, and they will discuss it at Books & Brews at Pale Fire Brewing in Harrisonburg on Tuesday, September 9 at 7pm. WMRA’s Chris Boros spoke with Henry about the farm.
