Our Farm of Four Acres, by Miss Coulton
Ten Acres Enough, By Edmund Morris
Three Acres and Liberty, By Bolton Hall
The Home Acre, by E. P. Roe
A FARM, to many, can be a romantic idea.
For those few of us who were raised on one, and even fewer who now live on one – they can be anything but: boiling summers, frigid winters, failed crops, livestock we couldn't save.
Nature also brings us breath-taking beauty and gives us inspiration to face our worst days – and savor our best and finest ones. The gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, the beauty of a newborn calf or colt, the joy of being greeted by the cacophony of chickens or ducks when you arrive to feed them – all these make our worst days worth it.
In recovering and republishing long out of print books about farming, raising livestock, and growing crops – some books were discovered which endorse the entire concept of farming while also being based on proved science and their experiences of how to actually run a sustainable farming operation.
The point of this collection of farm stories is to bring these classic texts into a single volume, so you have a reference for your library (even on your smartphone) where you can look up how other people faced those problems – and solved them.
Even if you don't live on a farm, and don't see purchasing your own acreage any time soon – you can use what you learn here to farm and garden what you can near by. Perhaps there's an empty lot locally that you can use from summer to summer. That owner might appreciate fresh produce as they have to pay taxes on it anyway. Or there might be small sections of un-utilized ground outside the building you rent or lease. The owner might appreciate having these tended – and save him the cost of re-seeding and mowing grass.
If your city ordinances or neighborhood committees don't restrict it, then you should make the effort to “get back to the land” and enjoy nature. Certainly improving your life and gaining some more peace of mind, stress relief, and even have some fun – these are all valuable benefits you can bring to yourself.
This book was prepared with you in mind. How to inspire you and motivate you to get started wherever you are. It's an enjoyable way to get an education in what you are already interested in.
Please enjoy.
