Mini Farming describes a holistic approach to small-area farming that will show you how to make eighty-five percent of the average family’s food on just a one fourth acre-and earn $10,000 in money annually while spending less than half time that an common work would require.

Even if you haven’t been a farmer or a gardener, this book covers everything you need to know to begin with: buying and saving seeds, beginning seedlings, establishing raised bedrooms, soil fertility practices, composting, coping with pest and disease problems, crop rotation, farm setting up, and much more. Because self-sufficiency may be the objective, topics such as raising backyard chickens and house canning may also be covered along with many methods for keeping costs down and creation high.
