Welcome to American Way Farm Way "up nawth" in northern NH, where the snowdrifts are big enough to have their own zip codes, life on the farm comes with equal parts work, wonder, and comic relief. I’m Sandy Davis—farmer, storyteller, and frequent victim of livestock with too much personality. My humorous essays about rural life have appeared in Backyard Poultry and Backwoods Home Magazine. Here’s where I share the true (and mostly true) tales of everyday life on American Way Farm—the moments that inspired my book Between the Fenceposts: Tales of Mud, Mayhem, and Manure , now available on Amazon.

Between the Fenceposts: Tales of Mud, Mayhem, and Manure

Big news from the farmyard: my book, Between the Fenceposts: Tales of Mud, Mayhem, and Manure, is kicking up some dust on Amazon and Barnes & Noble! Click on the links to go directly to the book listings.

This isn’t just a collection of stories—it’s a humorous look at rural life and a front-row seat to the comedy show that is everyday farm living. There are chickens behaving badly, goats with advanced degrees in chaos, dogs taking their jobs far too seriously, fences that don’t stay fixed, machinery with opinions of its own, and the occasional quiet moment that reminds you why anyone puts up with all of it.

You’ll find:

  • The Funny: Because chickens never fail to provide slapstick-level entertainment, and goats have PhDs in chaos.
  • The Frustrating: Like when you’ve just mended the fence and the goats look you dead in the eye as they find the one weak spot you missed.
  • The Fencepost-Worthy: The quiet, unforgettable moments that remind you why you love this life—like a butterfly landing on a workbench, or a dog keeping watch in the snow when he could be curled up inside.

I like to think of the book as a blend of humor, heart, and a whole lot of “you can’t make this stuff up.” Readers have compared the animal-filled storytelling to James Herriot, while one description that especially tickled me was “Erma Bombeck in barn boots.”

Between the Fenceposts by Sandy Davis has also received international recognition through a featured review and author interview with OpenShelf, an online literary platform based in Scotland, devoted to books, authors, and readers.

It’s written for anyone who has ever dreamed of having a farm, survived having a farm, grew up around animals, misses country life, or simply wants a good laugh at somebody else’s rural adventures without having to shovel anything afterward.

Grab your copy on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Polish up your reading glasses, stock up on hot chocolate, and get ready to step Between the Fenceposts or connect with me on Goodreads.
