Spring Warren lives in a small city in California. The lot her house is on is a little less than a quarter acre in size. She calls it the Quarter Acre Farm not only because of the Geese, ducks, chickens, and rabbits who live there, but because she grows most of her family's food in her yard.
The book Spring has written about becoming a farmer on a small scale, The Quarter Acre Farm, will be coming out with Seal Press this spring. Until then, you can see here what Spring is doing on the Farm at the moment.
MONDAYS feature a garden to-do list for the week
TUESDAY she'll write about this week's garden denizen
WEDNESDAY is recipe day
THURSDAY she'll feature interviews with gardeners, farmers, cheesemakers, cooks and food lovers.
FRIDAY is helpful Friday with products, how-to's and help for the suburban farmer. Tags

Cabbage Worms
‘Tis the season, the long, drawn-out, season of dreaded green. Dreaded green which eats my cabbage, my broccoli, my sprouts…the cabbage worm. Only about a week ago my plants looked great. I’m pretty sure of it. You know how it … Continue reading
Making lemonade out of a fallen tree?
The funny thing about this (haha hardly) is the tree didn’t break where I feared it would. It cracked apart in a totally different place that I would never have guessed. I suppose it is yet another lesson for me … Continue reading

Water water everywhere, but not a drop in my sink.

WELLS, PUMPS, PROCESS

Isn’t it beautiful? I know, not a soul on the planet thinks so but me. And sure, I do know that the stucco is cracked, it’s retirement age to you and me, and it looks every year of its hard … Continue reading
