BLANCHARDVILLE — Author Dick Cates will discuss his book “A Creek Runs Through This Driftless Land: A Farm Family’s Journey Toward a Land Ethic” at 6 p.m. on March 13 at the Blanchardville Public Library, 208 Mason Street.

In the book, Cates shares his family’s multi-generational journey, weaving science, love, and a land ethic into a successful model of raising and marketing grass-fed beef while working to restore the land and adjoining trout stream. He writes about the hard work, heartbreak, discoveries, and joy that have paved his family’s path.
