Parenting Strategies for Balancing Family Life with Running a Small Farm or Homestead
Essential parenting advice and practical strategies for engaging kids in farm life-to create opportunities for play and learning, to foster resilience and independence, and to keep kids busy while you're running your farm or backyard homestead.

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.Buy now!
