About this product

Product Information

There is a part in every one of us that wants to be a home farmer: a part that yearns to get back to the earth and to revel in the healthy experiences of growing rearing and making. In Home Farm well-known journalist TV and radio presenter and part-time farmer Paul Heiney shows you how to turn that dream into a reality beginning from the premise that anyone can bring an element of home farming however small into their life. Country Living for All Paul Heiney addresses the needs of both country livers and country dreamers including advice for those working on the tiniest of plots even down to the scale of a window-box. He presents a series of sample farms from one that fits into a back garden up to the scale of a moderately large smallholding. While garden farmers can enjoy keeping a few chickens and growing their own herbs and vegetables smallholders are able to grow field crops and manager a herd of cattle. Cornucopia Not only does Home Farm show you how to grow and harvest the fruits of the earth but it reveals the traditional secrets of transforming the best ingredients into the tastiest of healthful produce. From baking the most tempting of breads through the intricate delights of making your own cheese to the satisfaction of mouth-watering preserves Paul Heiney is the most engaging of guides. Home Farm is the new practical illustrated handbook for today's back-to-the-earth enthusiasts - those for whom the good life means rich soil contented livestock and wholesome produce.
