Description
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.
