Really enjoyable mix of how-to guides, ideas for my garden, and stories of how people have established farming and gardening areas, regardless of plot size.

A series of short snippets about people who have very small bits of land and how they grow things for themselves, including livestock.

A nice overview of it, but not what I was expecting which was an in depth look at someones tiny home farm.

This book was filled with beautiful photos of farm spaces and a few ideas that could be copied in the back garden at home. I really wish they had a recipe for the delicious looking tart that is on one page, but they did have other recipes and techniques.

This is just incredibly poorly written. I thought maybe it was a terrible translation, but it's just garbage. Also, most of the images are uncaptioned. Kill it with fire.

This book helped me so much as I help my girlfriend plan our little farm. Must have for anyone that seeks a more independent and healthy lifestyle.

Lovely pictures but the content wasn't particularly informative and it was repetitive at times.
