About this product

Product Information

When the farm is a lifestyle, not just a way to earn a living, that's hobby farming. Most of us want to live a sustainable life in which we protect the land and keep it safe from development and overproduction. But we can take this a step further by learning how to grow and savor what we can produce ourselves--while still maintaining an alternative career to fund this passion. Michael and Audrey Levatino here 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 book that will excite armchair farmers and inspire any do-it-yourselfer.

  • Much more then I expected

    I was thinking this book was going to be a 'how to' for some chicken, a goat & a berry patch. This book went into picking out the perfect land, how to tell if a barn can be saved or torn down, how to build a great compost bin, where the best places are to purchase animals. I knew if you have chicken, goats protect the chickens from fox & racoons & a donkey would protect the goats & chicken from the larger preditors. It never occured to me that dairy farmers like to get rid of their male goats & you can purchase them for cheap, thus saving their lives. This book is packed w/ wonderful information. I highly recomend it.
