“I was gifted the Kindle edition on Friday and I spent a good portion of the weekend reading this volume! I had intended to just take a quick peek at the subjects included and keep it as a reference. But it is so engaging and very readable, before I knew it, I was reading every page. Now this is not new information to me. I have been homesteading for over 20 years and I followed the Granny Miller Blogs. Ms. Grossman has so much to share with us all, and it’s all valuable. Garden Farming starts off with the vegetable garden,, planning, preparing, and growing. Everything is leading to the next step but alternatives are also provided. It’s just like sitting with your granny, the one who did all this, back in the day. After discussing gardening, growing, preserving and cooking, I was very excited to get to the animal care section. I have long wanted to pick Ms. Grossman’s brain about her sheep raising ideas. I have a small flock and love to talk to other shepherds. I was not disappointed! The entries in this section will give you confidence to start a small fiber flock, if that is your passion. Meat animals are covered too. Pigs, chickens, and small cattle (Dexters) are discussed. I read that there was an earlier volume so I purchased that today. I recommend both of these books for two reasons. 1. It’s great to learn from others doing what you want to do. and 2. the way these books are laid out makes them excellent resources for the future. The table of contents entries take you right to the section you need. I gave the book 5 stars because it is packed with good information presented in a readable and enjoyable style and format.”

Garden Farming is written in an easy to understand style with lots of pictures to illustrate the directions. There is so much information on gardening, preserving your harvest and animal care that if you only get 1 book homesteading, it should be this book! I also love the chapter on old time wisdom at the end. It’s fun to read the old wives tales of the past and see how many of them really do make sense! I will definitely be referencing this book again and again during my homestead journey.”
