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
