Our farming, gardening, and livestock books are always available via our website. We have an extensive Bookstore with dozens of book titles for topics including:
** Cattle Books,
with information for either the aspiring beef or dairy producer.
Whether you're just starting out or have been raising cattle awhile,
you'll find books here that will show you something new.
** Draft Horse Books
for the person who wants to learn how to put horses back to work on the
farm or in the woods. Or perhaps simply enjoys reading about those who
have.
** Pig Books.
Swine are one of the small farm's best friends, providing
cost-effective meat production. These books will show readers how to
make the most of that potential, in cost effective ways.
** Goat Books.
Goats are a very popular candidate for small scale suburban and rural
landowners, and even urban homesteaders. Meat, milk, fiber, and
character! These books will show how to select the right goats,
whatever your goal.
** Sheep Books
for the aspiring flock owner. Sheep offer wool, meat and milk to the
small-scale producer or homesteader. These books show how to maintain a
healthy, productive, profitable flock of your very own.
** Poultry, Waterfowl and Turkey Books.
Many folks want a small flock of their own, regardless of where they
live. Poultry can provide meat, eggs, profit and/or enjoyment for the
small flock owner. These books will show you how.
** Rabbit Books
will guide the first-time rabbit owner through housing, feeding,
breeding and grooming. Rabbits are an ideal small livestock animal for
either urban, suburban or rural residents. These books will show you
how to start, or improve, your rabbit herd.
** Beekeeping Books.
Most folks know that honeybees are facing unprecedented challenges
right now. Few folks know that they can do something about it. Amateur
beekeeping has never been easier, more enjoyable, more profitable, or
more important than now. These books will help you get started, or make
better use of your own hives, regardless of where you life.
** Hydroponics Books
explore the realm of soilless plant cultivation for both the hobbyist
and the market grower. This innovative approach can integrate well into
either homestead food production or commercial market production.
** Gardening Books,
suitable for anyone wishing to grow their own food. Whether you're on
the farm, in the suburbs or living downtown, you can grow at least some
of your own foods. These books will show you how, regardless of your
particular growing conditions.
** Animal and Farm-Related Coloring Books,
which make wonderful gifts for young farming enthusiasts. They also
make great teaching aids for those trying to teach youngsters about
where their food comes from, and how farming forms the backbone of
American society.
Products Available In the Next Few Months
Our product offerings come and go with the seasons. This is an overview of what we'll have coming within the next three months:
* Our tasty free-range eggs of various colors (white,
light brown, dark brown and green) are available year-round. Each carton
of one dozen eggs offers a mix of colors. Our hens are on pasture during
the summer and large open pens during the winter, eating a natural mix
of grains, greens, insects and natural supplements. Our birds live
long, healthy, happy chicken lives. You can taste the difference in our
eggs! We will be selling the bulk of our eggs through bulk buy groups and
possibly food hubs, but we'll have limited quantities available for
direct sale. Please Contact Us for more information.
* We are now taking reservations for our next batch of pork, available in second half 2018 timeframe. Our last batch of pork sold out in eight hours! So if you're
interested, please send us your contact info ASAP because we use the
rule "first come, first served". For more information, please visit our
Pigs page.
*We are mulling plans to expand our tomato, squash, rhubarb and strawberries
beyond the small amounts we grow for personal use. We are not sure yet
which of these, if any, we'll grow on a large enough scale to sell to
the public this year. Check back here and we'll update throughout the
year.
*We will have a limited supply of beautiful local grass hay this
year. All our animals love this hay, and we've gotten good feedback
from our customers. Of particular interest to horse owners, our
insulin-resistant Morgan mare has done very well on our hay without
soaking. She has been laminitis-free ever since we converted her over
to this hay in 2007. If you're interested in hay from our 2016 or 2017
cuttings, please let us know ASAP.
If you are interested in any of our products, we encourage you to please Contact Us for more information.

This book is available on Amazon.com and as a PDF download. Please visit The Chicken Coop Manual page for more information.
Rabbit Colonies: Lessons Learned
We started with rabbits in 2002, and we've been experimenting with colony management ever since. Fast forward to 2017, when I decided to write another book, this time about colony management. The book is chock-full of practical information, and is available from both Amazon and as a PDF download. Please visit the Rabbit Colonies page for more information.
The Pastured Pig Handbook
We are currently working on our next self-published book: The Pastured Pig Handbook. This particular book addresses a profitable, popular and successful hog management approach which sadly is not yet well documented. Our handbook, will cover all the various issues involved with pastured hog management, including case studies of numerous current pastured pig operations.
