Microfarm - Family self-sufficiency within reach!

How do you produce all the fruit and vegetables, eggs, meat and fish your family could want and need? Sally Morgan, a botanist with a passion for gardening and editor-in-chief of a British organic farming magazine, answers this question and, in her book Living on one acre or less, shares all the knowledge she has acquired over twenty years of experience. Translated into French and adapted to the characteristics of France (varieties, climate, breeds, etc.), the Microferme book details in a simple and accessible way the basics for starting up a small farm.

You don't need a hectare of land to grow your own fruit and vegetables, keep a few chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, bees or fish, or produce your own firewood and medicinal plants with a forest garden: this book will help you plan and set up your own growing and breeding areas, on 1,000 to 3,000 m² of garden, paddock or field, applying sustainable and organic principles.

Fences, paths, greenhouses, pest control, compost, green manures, crop rotation and combinations, soil health and fertility for a productive garden are all covered.

Microferme invites you to adopt a simpler, more authentic lifestyle, aiming for greater food self-sufficiency at a time when the predicted scarcity of resources and energy is becoming a reality, while managing your work and family life at the same time.

So don't hesitate to take the plunge, thanks to the advice in this book!
