Up Chute Creek

Melody Hessing

4.9/5 (29697 ratings)

Description:In the early 1970s, Melody Hessing and her husband Jay Lewis moved to Naramata, in the South Okanagan, where they built a log house by hand on a rocky bluff at the end of the road. Their "Granite Farm" was organic, with a shake roof, wood-fuelled stoves, and a composting toilet. But living with nature meant dealing with fruit-munching deer, bears with ‘attitude’ and rattlesnakes--and fire. In 2003, when Okanagan Mountain Park fire forced the evacuation of many homes north of Naramata, the fire blazed to the Granite Farm's fenceline.Melody Hessing's memoir Up Chute Creek: An Okanagan Idyll, is a creative non-fiction account about making a home in a unique environment--and watching the population of the area double around them, transforming life in the Okanagan. "It turns out," she notes wryly, "this bedrock ‘dig’ is ‘terroir’, a prequel for the emergence of ‘wine country’." Hessing, a sociologist who teaches winter terms at UBC, describes Up Chute Creek as a creation myth of an urban homestead -- from composting toilet to concrete pumper meltdowns, from flying squirrels to canyon wrens.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
