Resumen del Editor

A gardening book for anyone who’s dreamed of going back to the land for a simpler life… After two city-bred Boomers weather their first, tumultuous year on their rural backyard farm, they discover their homesteading journey has only begun.

The sequel to Susan Colleen Browne's award-winning memoir, Little Farm in the Foothills, Little Farm Homegrown follows modern homesteaders Susan and her husband John creating a hands-on life in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest. As they labor to transform an old clearcut into a working homestead, they experience the joys and challenges—and sometimes life-changing adversity—of living closer to the land.

In this lively true story, John and Susan cope with the demands of their middle years while raising chickens, pursuing a self-sufficient lifestyle, and adapting to—and often battling—nature. Little Farm Homegrown also includes tips for caring for your laying hens, maintaining your homestead, and growing your food crops sustainably.

Like the first Little Farm in the Foothills memoir, Little Farm Homegrown is a warmhearted tale for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages!

Food gardeners may enjoy Book 3 of the Little Farm series, Little Farm in the Garden: A Practical Mini-Guide for Raising Selected Fruits and Vegetables Homestead-Style. It's a friendly, down-to-earth little guide for starting and maintaining a thriving food garden.

When not writing, Susan is baking bread, chopping firewood, and dreaming about writing her next book!
