Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are twenty million acres of lawns in North America. In their current form, these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant financial and environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens, they can also be seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land is a major barrier for many people who want to enter the agricultural sector, and urban and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be farmers wanting to become part of this growing movement. The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone else's). Major benefits include: Low capital investment and overhead costs Reduced need for expensive infrastructure Easy access to markets Growing food in the city means that fresh crops may travel only a few blocks from field to table, making this innovative approach the next logical step in the local food movement. Based on a scalable, easily reproduced business model, The Urban Farmer is your complete guide to minimizing risk and maximizing profit by using intensive production in small leased or borrowed spaces. Curtis Stone is the owner/operator of Green City Acres, a commercial urban farm growing vegetables for farmers markets, restaurants, and retail outlets. During his slower months, Curtis works as a public speaker, teacher, and consultant, sharing his story to inspire a new generation of farmers.

Book excerpt: “A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling. Her unique approach, which she calls “horticultural how-to and woo-woo,” is a blend of vital information you need to memorize and intuitive steps you must simply feel and surrender to. In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view. The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public's perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars' harshly negative and dismissive treatment. Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation's four principal tenets: homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most Western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove up their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession. Using data instead of anecdotes and focusing mainly on the nineteenth century, Homesteading the Plainsdemonstrates that the first three tenets are wrong and the fourth only partially true. In short, the public's perception of homesteading is perhaps more accurate than the one scholars have constructed. Homesteading the Plainsprovides the basis for an understanding of homesteading that is startlingly different from current scholarly orthodoxy. "--

Book excerpt: Homestead by Betsy Bishop Thomas gives an intimate look at the struggles and triumphsof people living in rural Northwest Florida in the late 1800s.With no conveniences at their rustic, hand-built homes, and with outside communicationonly by horseriders or the firing of a gun to indicate an emergency, people turned inward - relyingon their families almost entirely.The nearest doctor is many hours away by horseback. Trips to a faraway town?s store orto an equally faraway church are rare. Letters sent to or from the post office might be monthsreaching their destination.Their food comes almost entirely from animals and poultry raised on the homestead andcrops grown on the acreage. Bathing is done in a washtub, when there?s enough rainwater.The women work just as hard as the men - sometimes inside the houses, sometimesoutside in the fields and the barns. Gossip is pervasive, perhaps an entertaining respite from therigors of daily life. Yet, when trouble looms or help is needed, neighbors rally. Thomas follows the lives of Nate and Melissa York, from the time of their meeting,through their marriage with all its hardships and difficulties, including the death of their first baby,up until the time their home becomes a haven for children previously mistreated in otherenvironments.Nate can?t read or write, but Melissa, 17 years younger, teaches him, and both eventuallycome to share a full understanding of religious faith after a series of tragedies and mishaps teststheir beliefs.But while Nate and Melissa may get top billing, the roster of other people also is large. The author?s narrative peels back the many layers of the various characters? heroics, as well astheir shortcomings and perversities, demonstrating, sometimes graphically, that these ?good olddays? were all too often something far from good.Not all the characters are human. There is Dewey, Nate?s horse, in particular, who is trulylike a brother to the man, whose parents lost their lives in a criminal attack when he was just achild.Overall, it?s an interesting read, not just for those who may have been raised in ruralenvironments, but for anyone who likes to explore character development interwoven with aregional lifestyle, speech patterns and culture

Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series
