Summary:
"Live the dream and make the most of your land by working with it, not against it. From capturing water and building strong soil to helping your animals live their best lives, this book is all about making your homestead stronger by achieving synergy between its different parts." -- Back cover.
"Ferraro-Fanning (Little Homesteader: A Spring Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom), wanting a deeper connection to nature after the birth of her first child, left her successful full-time graphic design business to research, cultivate, and maintain a homestead. This book provides the lessons the self-taught farmer gained from experience and from in-depth study. Supplemented with easy-to-navigate charts and helpful infographics for visual thinkers, this book offers accessible ideas and facts for both novice and seasoned homesteaders. Included are chapters on companion planting, selecting and caring for livestock, using compost to improve soil health, and planning a sustainable orchard."--Publishers Weekly.
Angela Ferraro-Fanning is a self-taught first-generation farmer who built Axe & Root Homestead, a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. Originally a graphic and website designer by trade, she owned and operated her own design firm for over a decade. After the birth of her first child, she realized she wanted to be outdoors, aligning her life with the seasons and with nature. She now grows and preserves her own homegrown produce for her young family and runs a farm bustling with Clydesdales, geese and ducks for eggs, an apiary with ten beehives, sheep, and a small orchard. She shares this love for eco-conscious, self-sufficient living with others through social media, her books and online homesteading classes, public speaking, and regular contributions to publications such as Countryside Magazine, Backyard Beekeeping, and Backyard Poultry Magazines.
