Geek to Farm Girl Freak: Leaving High Tech for Greener Pastures Review: Do you have enough of the rat race? Want to live on a farm? - "I.T. Geek to Farm Girl Freak" is a fabulous book, especially in times like these. This book is a follow up book to Sherry Molteni's book, "Her Name was Half-Calf", which I read some time ago. While the news on the internet make us believe that the majority of people is yearning to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous, whose wardrobe and houses we can see now up close Sherry Molteni shows us the charm of living with nature and animals, up close and personal. The interesting thing is Molteni makes a 180 degrees change to get to this junction. She worked in IT in a high midlevel position; thus, for her, rearing baby cows (Jersey cows and Angus cows), chicken, bunnies, hens and adopting Jasmine the dog, who is supposed to watch the animals is anything but the good old of anything. My favorite story in the book, is "the Chicken and the Eggs". It all begins with a phone call from an annoyed postmaster and ends with beautiful hens. I was particularly thrilled to find confirmation that these organic eggs taste differently than what stores sell. I have been saying for a long time that foods used to taste differently when I was a child. Now I found confirmation from an expert who knows. Readers will be delighted to read about cows , Sweet Pea, the duckies, Tom-Tom, Tyler and Tanner, and so many other animals. Molteni has added pictures, which show the adorable bunch. I would be surprised if the book would not make a few readers wonder, if they should not up for a life on a farm. Loved it. Gisela Hausmann, author of the 'naked' – no fluff – books and blogger Review: From Server Farm to Animal Farm - The author has done what many of us have dreamed of: ditching the nine to five world for a bit of acreage to use as a hobby farm complete with an assortment of domesticated animals. This book is a collection of her interactions and experiences with these critters. There is an introduction, which takes up about one-third of the book, that explains the author's background and the path she took to become an information technology worker (aka geek) and then outlines the reasons behind her decisions to leave the corporate world and move back to her home state of Florida and to the hobby farm. The animal stories show that animals, much as with people, have distinct personalities beyond the traits of their species. Each vignette is ended with a "Lesson Learned" drawn from the circumstances of the animals arrival, time of residence at the farm, or departure. There are also a few photographs of the various animals that have found at least a temporary home on the farm to go along with their stories. I found that I could relate to much of what the author had to say since I also did the corporate computer science thing before dropping back to a more rural and low-tech lifestyle. I haven't gone the farm and animal route, but I could easily understand the why behind her choices and then go on to enjoy the experiences she had with her not-quite-pets vicariously. Recommended as a pleasant diversion. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,574,202 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91,801 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (204) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.29 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 150842005X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1508420057 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 112 pages | | Publication date | May 7, 2015 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![I.T.

Recommended as a pleasant diversion. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Farm Girl *by A***Y on January 27, 2020* This is a short book with each chapter telling about the various farm animals on their hobby farm. The stories were all either entertaining or interesting or both. I believe there is a 2nd book. I personally would have preferred one bigger book . --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31794547-i-t-geek-to-farm-girl-freak-leaving-high-tech](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31794547-i-t-geek-to-farm-girl-freak-leaving-high-tech) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
