From Peter Wohlleben, the New York Times-bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees, and his wife, Miriam, comes an inspired, practical memoir of creating a sustainable homestead amongst the trees. Called "a veritable tree whisperer" by the Wall Street Journal, Peter Wohlleben is known across the world for his illuminating books about forests and how to help them thrive. Now, the German forester invites readers into his home for the first time in Our Little Farm, describing the steps he and his wife, Miriam, have taken to live sustainably and in harmony with nature. Peter and Miriam moved from the city to a remote forest lodge in the early nineties. Amidst juggling careers and raising a young family, they learned how to plant and rotate crops, harvest and preserve nature's bounty, and tend to the unique needs of their animals and environment. Along the way, they made mistakes and abandoned some projects (sheep raising was not their thing) but maintained a sense of joy in their shared goal. Brimming with insights, wisdom, and tips on everything from constructing farm buildings to choosing the perfect chicken, Our Little Farm shows that, with a little grit, humor, and self-compassion, it's possible to live according to our values and to care for the earth even as we care for ourselves, our homes, and our families.

A gardening book for anyone who has dreamed of going back to the land and living a simpler life… After two city-bred Boomers weather their first, tumultuous year on their rural backyard farm, the couple foresees smooth sailing for the future…only to discover their homesteading journey has just begun. The sequel to Susan Colleen Browne's award-winning memoir, Little Farm in the Foothills, Little Farm Homegrown follows modern homesteaders Susan and her husband John creating a hands-on life in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest. As they experience the joys and challenges—and sometimes life-changing adversity—of living closer to the land, they labor to transform an old clearcut into a working homestead. In this lively true story, John and Susan cope with the demands of their middle years while raising chickens, creating a self-sufficient lifestyle, and adapting to—and often battling—nature. As Susan writes, “The Gardening School of Hard Knocks is actually a super-effective way to get an education, but I’d like to save you from learning everything the hard way.” With that in mind, Little Farm Homegrown includes tips for caring for your laying hens, maintaining your homestead, and growing your food crops sustainably. Like the first Little Farm in the Foothills memoir, Little Farm Homegrown is a warmhearted tale for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages! Praise for the first Little Farm book, Little Farm in the Foothills: “The Browne’s foray into slower living…is an enjoyable read. Their delightful, yet very real, experiences in making the big leap toward their dreams make for a humorous and charming book.” —Washington State Librarian Jan Walsh

After making a life-changing decision, Bonnie faces overwhelming problems. A nasty teacher makes life miserable. Illness leaves her behind in her schoolwork and in danger of embarrassing punishment. Her best friends aren't speaking to her, and to top it off, she gives in to irresistible temptation-with devastating results. Can she ever be forgiven? "Little Farm" books illustrate the joys and trials of growing up on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania during the 1950s, while presenting Christian values in an entertaining format. This is the fifth book of a projected nine-book series. As the story unfolds in future books, Bonnie continues to grow in her knowledge of God through good times and bad. (Book V will be more fully enjoyed if Books I, II, III & IV are read first.) Book I - "A Little Family Moves In" Book II - "Trouble, Mischief, and Adventure" Book III - "The Fire" Book IV- "Fluffy" "Every child should have the chance to live on a farm," asserts Bonnie Siegrist. "It's magical." She spent her own childhood on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. When her granddaughter asked her to write down her memories, after a visit to the old farm, she knew God was calling her to put her stories into print. She and her husband, Ken, reside in St. Petersburg, Florida near their two children and seven grandchildren. They visit schools and teach Christian values to children, while entertaining them with puppets and skits. She also loves speaking to adult groups on her favorite topics, Enjoying Your Children and "Great" Grandparenting. Before its publication, her first book in the Little Farm series won the Florida Writers Association's "Best Unpublished Children's Book Award." Xulon Press awarded her the 2004 Best New Christian Author Award. She's busy serving God and writing the sixth Little Farm book.

When two Boomers flee the city for a slower, simpler, and more serene lifestyle, they discover that simplicity can get awfully complicated… and life becomes anything but serene. In this award-winning, true-life tale for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages, Little Farm in the Foothills follows a midlife couple’s pursuit of the “new” Great American Dream—living closer to the land—as they start growing their own organic food, living more simply, and transforming an old clearcut into a little homestead. What Susan and her husband John thought was a modest plan becomes an adventure that is more life-changing than they envisioned, and they face more adversity and more joys than they ever could have imagined. Little Farm in the Foothills is not a memoir about farming…it’s a warmhearted story of making a dream come true. As Susan writes of their Foothills home, “it’s not a farm, it’s not even a ‘farmette,’ but it’s the dream of a farm.” “The Browne’s foray into slower living…is an enjoyable read. Their delightful, yet very real, experiences in making the big leap toward their dreams make for a humorous and charming book.” —Washington State Librarian Jan Walsh “A delightful account.” —The Bellingham Herald
