Detalhes do produto
- First published in 1940, Five Acres and Independence by Maurice Kains is the essential and practical guide to small-scale sustainable farming. This indispensable guide has assisted countless farmers, from the novice to the more experienced, to find success on a small scale. Kains, while drawing from his own vast experience gained over decades of farming, gives step-by-step directions on beginning a farm, deciding how suitable the land is for improvements, calculating the cost of those improvements, and practical steps for making them a reality. Kains gives sound and tested advice for choosing crops and animals, building irrigation and greenhouses, improving the yield and value of the small farm, and methods of marketing produce. While much has changed in the world since 1940, Kains' advice is still very relevant and helpful, especially for those farmers who are interested in self-sustaining and environmentally friendly methods that do not rely on modern chemicals or machinery. Long considered one of the most in-depth and helpful books ever written on small-scale farming, a careful reading of Five Acres and Independence can be the difference between success and failure for anyone new to this timeless pursuit. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Management Editorial Review
**** "Five Acres and Independence" by author and agricultural expert M.G. Kains is a deep dive into the art of small-scale farming and self-sufficiency, reflecting the realities of the Great Depression. Despite its roots in a bygone era, the book remains relevant to both aspiring farmers and dedicated hobby gardeners looking to maximize their green thumb on a limited amount of land. Kains provides a comprehensive look into various practices of small farming, highlighting the importance of managing an orchard, recovering neglected land, composting, and even aspects of crop selection. Readers often note the book's wealth of practical knowledge, particularly in the areas of fruit and vegetable cultivation. Its encyclopedic nature captures essential subjects that resonate with anyone interested in gardening or farming, regardless of whether they hold a genuine pursuit of subsistence farming. Many who have transitioned from traditional jobs to farming find value in the advice contained within, while also appreciating Kains' affable writing style. That said, potential readers should be aware of the book's dated references—the author discusses outdated practices such as using ice boxes and occasionally lacks modern agricultural insights. While the book's light treatment of farm animals may leave animal husbandry enthusiasts wanting more, those dreaming of self-sufficiency through garden harvests will find it particularly inspiring. It does serve as a helpful starting point, offering foundational knowledge before readers dive deeper into the subject with more contemporary resources. Overall, "Five Acres and Independence" stands as a classic resource that encapsulates the spirit of rural living and the hard work necessary for its success. However, readers should approach it with the understanding that some of the advice may not fully align with modern farming techniques. The book is best suited for those with a genuine interest in cultivating their land and embracing a lifestyle of independence. **
