| John Deere: Hobby Farm is packed with information and instructions for those who own, or dream of owning, a hobby farm or a large estate of 2 to 40 acres. Based on interviews with actual hobby farmers throughout the U.S., the book is packed with practical guidance and inspiring possibilities that capture the romance of the hobby farm. This is a highly attractive but hardworking book that’s designed to be as inspirational to the big-backyard folks who dream of upgrading as it is to those who are already living the hobby farm lifestyle.
The romance of the farm calls to all of us at some point in our lives. For some, the appeal lies in the promise of a simpler lifestyle marked by honest work and results you can hold in your hands. For others, the farm is a lineage to our past. It conjures images of dewy meadoes, Mason jars, ripe tomatoes and the pure companionship of a trusted horse or dog. Usually, our dreams of going back to the farm remain dreams. But in growing numbers today's enterprising city-dwellers are finding a way to make it happen. Whether your dream farm is just a few acres with a big garden and a rabbit hutch, or an 80-acre tract with a horse corral and big red barn, John Deere's Hobby Farm is just the guide you need to get started on your adventure. With full color photos and step-by-step projects it will give structure to your dream and take you one big step closer to achieving the real thing.
