Finding His Way Back to the Farm with Steve Watkins

That Farm Life

As a teenager working in his family's fields during the Farm Crisis of the 80’s, any job out of the sun with a steady paycheck sounded like a better option to Steve Watkins.

After working in journalism, publishing, and a variety of other fields, Steve found himself back at the start. A forty day walk down the Camino de Santiago gave him time to think and pray. After returning he wrote Pilgrim Strong: Rewriting My Story on the Way of St. James.

Steve has also written a book about growing up on the farm and his return to rural life. That book is called The King of Highbanks Road: Rediscovering Dad, Rural America, and Learning to Love Home Again.

Both of Steve’s books can be found on Amazon or other booksellers.
