Who hasn’t daydreamed at one time or another about selling produce at a farmer’s market, keeping chickens, or planting an orchard of fruit trees? Inside every do-it-yourselfer is a longing for a more independent lifestyle and the satisfaction that can come from getting one’s hands dirty while turning some earth.
Whether one is thinking about a second home in the country, starting a part-time farm, or going back to the land, Living on an Acre is the classic USDA handbook, offering a comprehensive and fully updated guide to:
• The benefits of rural versus urban life
• What to consider when remodeling an older house
• How to build a barn
• Growing for self-sufficiency versus growing for profit
• Beekeeping
• Raising livestock
• Land conservation
• And much more!
