Description
In this first-ever book on the topic, author Katie Kulla offers her own hard-won wisdom, gleaned from more than a decade of raising kids while running a CSA farm with her husband. The book also features invaluable advice and insights from other farmer-parents and a wealth of practical tips and ideas for how to engage children on the farm—including activities for learning and play, and suggestions for how to enlist kids in chores and other farm responsibilities. Included are experiences and stories of diverse farm families encompassing a variety of identities and backgrounds across geographic locations, race and genders, family sizes, and farm scales, to represent the real face of farming today.

I found this book to be very helpful for me! I am a mom, married, with 4 children on 15 acres that I aspire to live off of as much as I can. We are also looking to homeschool in the future. This book was very informative on how I can include our kids around the homestead, what I can expect as a parent, what types of books we can be reading to learn from and journaling prompts after every section to help organize your thoughts and goals. Overall, if you have land and want to homestead, or are thinking about buying some and starting, this is a great read to help you find what will work best for you and provide you some solid ideas!
I find this book to be an incredibly important topic today. People have become so detached from the land and their food sources, there are important lessons here not only for farming and homesteading families, but even more so for those who are not. We need to expose more people to this way of living, partly so they understand they have a choice in how they live and how they eat. I would love to see more information about incorporating gardening into non farm families, but this is a great resource for teaching about the farm life.
I read this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have always dreamed of running a homestead with my family. As someone currently neighborhood living, but supporting a CSA this gives me big dreams that one day we can have land and give our children this life. I love how encouraging this book was while also not sugar coating that sometimes it will be hard. And love the idea of getting the kids involved in everyday operations. This book gives me hope that one day we can achieve this!
