"Discover how to turn a typical suburban property into a food-growing machine in The Tiny But Mighty Farm. Feed your family and maybe even turn a profit"-- Provided by publisher.
The backyard mini farming movement is about regular people who live in regular houses turning all or part of their land into productive small farms. Ragan shows that food self-sufficiency and seasonal, organic eating is an achievable goal. Whether your property is one-tenth of an acre, one full acre, or somewhere in between, you'll find answers to all of your pressing questions. In the process of cultivating food, you'll also be cultivating yourself, your family, and your community. -- adapted from back cover
