CHRISTINE MARIE BAILEY
CHRISTINE MARIE BAILEY
MADISON – Former Madison resident Christine Marie Bailey, nee Piccione, is the author of a part-memoir, part-recipe book, to be published Tuesday, May 17.
Bailey, who now runs and lives on an organic farm in Tennessee, grew up in town, graduated from Madison High School and still has family here. She is the daughter of Francis and and Dawn Piccione of Myrtle Avenue.
After graduating from Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., she worked in the Christian music industry for several years, and founded a nonprofit organization to provide aid to people in need in several African countries, before she and her husband transitioned to organic farming.
Her book, titled “The Kindred Life: Stories and Recipes to Cultivate a Life of Organic Connection,” encourages readers to “cultivate a life of beauty, nourishment, and community that will lead to growth and joy.”
“The Kindred Life” is a cry for real connection in a time when people need to recapture what’s been lost, according to the author’s website, www.christinemariebailey.com.
A description of the book, culled from the website, is as follows:
“In this collection of stories, photos, and recipes from her home on Kindred Farm in Santa Fe, Tennessee, sustainable farmer Christine Bailey shares both the beautiful and gritty moments as she grew from a hopeful urban gardener to co-owner of a farm full of produce, bees, chickens, and flowers that provides meaningful experiences for friends, family, and hundreds of guests each year.
“Kindred means ‘tribe’ or ‘family,’ and at the center of ‘The Kindred Life’ is an invitation to pursue the experiences that unite us, like spending time in the dirt, slowing down, and joining in a simple meal under the stars. We were all created with the ability to carve out a life of connection, and it’s worth every bit of sweat it takes to get there.”
To pre-order the book, or to learn more, visit www.christinemariebailey.com/the-kindred-life-book, or find the book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other booksellers.
