Joy of Hobby Farming
Do you have the desire to live out in the country or start a farm? The term “hobby farm" just refers to those who work a job outside of the farm to earn a living. This handy book gives wonderful insights on the basics of property searching, useful farming equipment, gardening, restoring dilapidated barn structures, animal care, and more! Full of information and pictures that capture first-hand experiences, this book would be like a “helpful neighbor" to new farmers. 245 pgs, pb.
When the farm is a lifestyle, but not quite a way to earn a living, it's considered hobby farming. Most of us want to live a sustainable and healthy life in which we protect the environment and keep it safe from development and overproduction. But we can take this a step further by learning how to grow our own produce, while still maintaining an alternative, successful career to fund this passion. In this back to basics guide, Michael and Audrey Levatino share how to:
Grow your own food
Raise chickens, horses, llamas, bees, and more
Practice being (a little) off the grid
Sell the bounty in your local community
Balance a professional career with a rural lifestyle
The Joy of Hobby Farming is a guide that will excite armchair farmers and inspire any do-it-yourselfer. While this book won't help you become a farmer by trade, it does provide step-by-step instructions and various tips and tricks to maintain a thriving farm. It will surely teach those who aren't farmers by day to raise their own livestock, plant their own fruits and vegetables, and live out their countryside dream.
