Our Little Farm

Rochelle Butcher

Do you have a dream to have a hobby farm one day? Do you seek out resources and books on how to live a more sustainable life? If so, this book is for you. 

Peter Wohlleben is the author of many popular books on nature, namely The Hidden Life of Trees. In his newest book, “Our Little Farm,” co-authored with his wife Miriam, they share their journey into sustainability by documenting their foray into small-scale farming. 

“Our Little Farm” is pure inspiration and was a joy to read! The Wohlleben’s have thought of everything that goes into planning and running a hobby farm. There are chapters on how they made their dream a reality. They leave no stone unturned. They tell you what tools and gear they selected, how they dealt with unwanted pests, what vegetables they grew, and which animals they kept. There are also recipes and a chapter on how to preserve your harvest. This is a very hands on guide and is very thoughtfully written. 

Oh how I loved reading this book on sustainability and farming! This book is a gem! 

A hobby farm may not be in the near future for me, but a garden is and I am definitely getting excited about planning one next year! I will be pulling this book out again in the spring to inspire me and help me on my sustainability journey.
