Josh Volk, the proprietor of Slow Hand Farm with 20 years experience of managing small farms in the United States presents detailed farm layouts for productivity and efficiency for small farms on 5 acres or less.

Come along on a tour of 15 successful farms, from urban rooftops to rural retreats, all flourishing on five acres of land or less. Learn from veteran farmers like Eliot Coleman and a new generation of growers like Jean-Marting Fortier how small-scale farms can be profitable, fulfilling, and vital to their communities; then set your dreams on the right track with tips and resources for planning your own compact farm.--COVER.
