Book excerpt: A gardening book for anyone who's dreamed of going back to the land and living a simpler life...After two city-bred Boomers weather their first, tumultuous year on their rural backyard farm, the couple foresees smooth sailing for the future...only to discover their homesteading journey has just begun. In this sequel to the award-winning memoir, Little Farm in the Foothills, Little Farm Homegrown follows the continuing adventures of modern homesteaders Susan and her husband John as they pursue organic food-growing and self-reliance in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest, experiencing life-changing adversity and the ongoing joys and challenges of living closer to the land and transforming an old clearcut into a working homestead. In this lively true story, John and Susan cope with the demands of their middle years while raising chickens, creating a self-sufficient lifestyle, and living closer to-and often battling-nature. As Susan writes, "The Gardening School of Hard Knocks is actually a super-effective way to get an education, but I'd like to save you from learning everything the hard way." With that in mind, Little Farm Homegrown includes tips for caring for your laying hens, maintaining your homestead, and growing your food crops sustainably. Like the first Little Farm in the Foothills memoir, Little Farm Homegrown is a warmhearted tale for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages! Praise for Little Farm in the Foothills, Book 1: "The Browne's foray into slower living...is an enjoyable read. Their delightful, yet very real, experiences in making the big leap toward their dreams make for a humorous and charming book." -Washington State Librarian Jan Walsh

The sequel to Susan Colleen Browne's award-winning memoir, Little Farm in the Foothills, Little Farm Homegrown follows modern homesteaders Susan and her husband John creating a hands-on life in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When two Boomers flee the city for a slower, simpler, and more serene lifestyle, they discover that simplicity can get awfully complicated… and life becomes anything but serene. In this award-winning, true-life tale for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages, Little Farm in the Foothills follows a midlife couple’s pursuit of the “new” Great American Dream—living closer to the land—as they start growing their own organic food, living more simply, and transforming an old clearcut into a little homestead. What Susan and her husband John thought was a modest plan becomes an adventure that is more life-changing than they envisioned, and they face more adversity and more joys than they ever could have imagined. Little Farm in the Foothills is not a memoir about farming…it’s a warmhearted story of making a dream come true. As Susan writes of their Foothills home, “it’s not a farm, it’s not even a ‘farmette,’ but it’s the dream of a farm.” “The Browne’s foray into slower living…is an enjoyable read. Their delightful, yet very real, experiences in making the big leap toward their dreams make for a humorous and charming book.” —Washington State Librarian Jan Walsh “A delightful account.” —The Bellingham Herald

Book excerpt: Little Farm in the Henhouse brings you the joys and challenges of keeping a backyard flock of laying hens--with tips and techniques for healthy, happy chickens! This engaging memoir of nature, wildlife, and most of all, chicken caring follows a midlife couple's hen adventures in the Foothills of the Cascade Mountains. When city girl Susan moves out to the country to start a homestead, getting a few hens seems like a great idea. Problem: what little she knew about farm animals was what she read in books. Still, Susan and her husband John are big on self-reliance, so they forge ahead with their plan for keeping chickens...despite the learning curve. And what an eye-opener it is! Once they bring six pullets to their wooded acreage, on the fly, Susan and John must figure out chicken care, habits, and especially chicken protection. In this 4th book of the Little Farm homesteading series, you'll discover the magic of different chicken personalities and the teachable moments of raising hens in the middle of the woods. Whether you already have a flock of "girls" or or thinking of getting one, you'll discover lots of practical tips and best practices for keeping chickens healthy and content--and a whole lot of what not to do! Yet caring for hens in a remote area is not all sweetness and light... Along with many joys, Susan and John experience many sorrows as well. Yet in these irresistible chicken tales, you may discover that hens don't simply provide eggs--they may give you a deeper appreciation for all living creatures. Susan Colleen Browne is the author of the award-winning Little Farm in the Foothills, and the sequel, Little Farm Homegrown, as well as the popular gardening guide, Little Farm in the Garden. She also pens the Village of Ballydara series, warmhearted fiction set in the Irish countryside. When not in the garden, Susan is working on her latest Irish novel!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to voices like those of nationally known authors Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser, and Barbara Kingsolver, along with film producers Robert Kenner and Curt Ellis, among others, consciousness of the food we eat, where it comes from, what has been done to it, and what it does to us is growing. Granville, Ohio, journalist, writer, educator, and business owner Evelyn Frolking has written a new book which puts a "pin on the map" to look at a small section of the country where the food movement has come to life through the voices of those who are growing and producing real food, the farmers. Issues like distribution, seasonal expansion, capital investment, land ownership, labor, and many others are revealed through the voices of these ordinary people who find themselves caught up in a movement they don't necessarily realize they had a part in starting, but one they embrace. The book is a collection of six stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things within a lively growing local food movement in Ohio. Evelyn explores why they do it: what drives them to farm in a culture that, until recently, has almost totally dismissed them as little more than hobbyists, or worse. And are they making a difference to their communities and themselves, each in their own personal way and collectively as a growing constituency? This is the overarching story told against the backdrop of the efficient, but flawed, industrial food business that is proving itself unethical, unhealthful, and unsustainable. The six subjects of the book include: Ann and Tom Bird and their family of Bird's Haven Farms, Granville, OH; Tom and Emma Stout of Osage Lane Creamery, Pataskala, OH; Erin Harvey of The Kale Yard, Granville, OH; Kathy and Rich Harrison of Skipping Stone Farm, Utica, OH; Mike and Laura Laughlin of North-ridge Organic Farm, Johnstown, OH; and Warren and Victoria Taylor of Snowville Creamery, Pomeroy, OH. A side bar written by Tod Frolking, accompanies each story adding historical, geologic, and economic depth. Professional photographer Gary Chisolm worked with Evelyn to develop photographic illustrations. Maps will also be included, along with appendixes and references.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free space for the city gardener might be no more than a cramped patio, balcony, rooftop, windowsill, hanging rafter, dark cabinet, garage, or storage area, but no space is too small or too dark to raise food. With this book as a guide, people living in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, and single-family homes will be able to grow up to 20 percent of their own fresh food using a combination of traditional gardening methods and space-saving techniques such as reflected lighting and container "terracing." Those with access to yards can produce even more. Author R. J. Ruppenthal worked on an organic vegetable farm in his youth, but his expertise in urban and indoor gardening has been hard-won through years of trial-and-error experience. In the small city homes where he has lived, often with no more than a balcony, windowsill, and countertop for gardening, Ruppenthal and his family have been able to eat at least some homegrown food 365 days per year.

Book excerpt: Dublin girl Emma Carey has just embarked on another fresh start—the job of her dreams at Ireland Place, a quirky Irish arts center in a picturesque Victorian mansion near Seattle. At thirty-one, sweet, plucky Emma is finally poised for career success. That is, if she can only avoid her fatal flaw, the one that’s ruined every other job: falling for her boss. A dedicated family man, Declan O’Donoghue is an Irish dad devoted to his children, the lights of his life—so as the new manager at Ireland Place, he could never have guessed his earnest, endearing colleague could take his breath away. Yet Declan knows he and Emma can never be more than friends... Hazel Carey has always been protective of her elder sister—at twenty, she’s the practical one, while Emma is a dreamer. But seeing her sister’s heart-melting fancy for her new boss, Hazel wonders: how to keep Emma from real heartbreak this time? With humor and tenderness, Becoming Emma continues Emma’s journey from America back to Ireland, toward her own happily-ever-after. This heartfelt, charming page-turner, the sequel to The Little Irish Gift Shop, is part of Susan Colleen Browne’s Village of Ballydara series, set in a quaint little community in the West of Ireland... Emma and Declan’s love story continues in the next Ballydara novel, The Fairy Cottage of Ballydara!

Book excerpt: The charming story of one family's mission to build a deeper, lasting connection to land and community on their Vermont farm When Ben Hewitt and his wife bought a sprawling acreage of field and forest in northern Vermont, they were eager to start a self-sustaining family farm. But over the years, the land became so much more than a building site; it became the birthplace of their two sons, the main source of family income and food, and even a classroom for their children. Through self-directed play, exploration, and experimentation on their farm, Hewitt’s children learned how to play and read, test boundaries and challenge themselves, fail and recover. Best of all, this environment allowed their personalities to flourish, fueling further growth. In Home Grown, Hewitt shows us how small, mindful decisions about day-to-day life can lead to greater awareness of the world in our backyards and beyond. In telling the story of his sons’ unconventional education in the fields and forests surrounding his family’s farm, he demonstrates that the sparks of learning are all around us, just waiting to be discovered. Learning is a lifelong process—and the best education is never confined to a classroom.
