The Quarter-Acre Farm: How I kept the patio, lost the lawn, and fed my family for a year
Description
In this engaging account of urban self-sufficiency, a suburban family transforms an ordinary quarter-acre property into a productive home farm—without giving up the patio or embracing an all-or-nothing lifestyle. Spring Warren chronicles the practical challenges, unexpected rewards, and everyday rhythms of growing, preserving, and preparing food for her family over the course of a year. Blending candid memoir with useful insights, the book explores sustainability, resourcefulness, family life, and the pleasures and limits of producing food close to home. Warm, witty, and encouraging, it offers inspiration for anyone interested in gardening, local food, and making the most of a small space.
