...voir plusEllen Bromfield Geld, daughter of Louis Bromfield, was born in Paris, France, in 1932, and lived in Senlis, France, until 1938, when the family moved to Malabar Farm, Lucas, Ohio.
After attending high school in Mansfield, Ohio, she studied agriculture at Cornell University.
Since 1953, she and her husband, Carson Geld, have been living and farming in the interior of Brazil. Their first experience was that of running Fazenda Malabar do-Brasil, prototype of Louis Bromfield’s Malabar Farm in Ohio. Later they helped set up an experimental farm for Anderson Clayton and Co. in western São Paulo. Now, after eight years, they have bought a coffee fazenda of their own near Tieté in the old, traditional sugar cane and coffee region of São Paulo’s Planalto de Piritininga.
Mother of five children, Mrs. Geld describes herself as a housewife whose greatest loves are writing, farming and politics in that order. She writes articles for São Paulo’s leading newspaper, O Estado de São Paulo. Her books include The Jungley One, Strangers in the Valley and the introduction and subtitles for the photographic book Brazil, Portrait of a Great Country.voir moins
