This is a fore-runner to all those Harrowsmith articles about going back to the land.

I read half or more of this many years ago. Henry Tetlow writes about the economics and mechanics of running a small, mixed farming operation part-time to supplement earned income. He shows that you can reduce grocery bills and provide a small cash return selling excess production. The cash, ideally, goes with other capital investment back into the farm. He advocates a slow build-up of production capacity and much attention paid to building up soil quality. Near the end of the book he talks about the promising new ideas of organic farming, which was then called bio-dynamic farming. It was not so much avoiding chemical fertilizers as realizing that they could not sustain soil quality.
