New Buffalo was one of the most successful of the collective farms that dotted the country in the 1960s and 1970s.

The journals trace the group's evolution to adulthood as the party mood of the early 1970s gives way to the concerns of maintaining a growing farm.

The Transformation of Rural England: Farming and the Landscape 1700-1870

But most enclosures had little to do...
