Backyard Farming On An Acre (More Or Less)

Description

Plan and plant a successful and sustainable backyard farm -- from a quarter acre to a full acre and beyond -- right in your own backyard. By raising and harvesting their own fruits, vegetables, chickens, bees, milk-bearing animals, and more, people are growing locally, sustainably, and at a fraction of the cost.

"Backyard Farming on an Acre (More or Less)" is written by someone who has planned and run a successful small-scale farm. Angela England guides you through the essentials of planning a small farm -- deciding what should be grown or raised, implementing proven, sustainable techniques, and maximizing yield and harvest.
