Living the Good Life by Helen and Scott Nearing
In the depths of the Great Depression, Scott (an economist dismissed from academia for his radial socialist views during World War I) and his second wife Helen fled New York City in search of a quieter life in which to cultivate their values of pacifism, subsistence, and veganism. 
The Good Life is a practical and philosophical account of settling on 200 acres alongside Stratton Mountain in Vermont, where the couple spent the next two decades growing their own food (absent manure or pesticides), building with stone, producing maple syrup and refusing to generate profit: Committed to the value of leisure, the Nearings would work only 4 hours a day, 6 months a year, and when their basic needs were met, abandoned “bread labor” for reflection and constructive avocation.
