The Family Microfarm Guide: Leaving the City for the Country

What if we moved to the countryside, somewhere quiet?

We could create our own permaculture vegetable garden there, which would allow us to live self-sufficiently and enjoy fruits and vegetables grown with respect for the environment!

It's a great idea, but as Mouts says in his preface, you're going to take a "dizzying leap into the void"!

To help you prepare for your project, Linda Bedouet, Stéphanie Maubé and Claire Mauquié, who have themselves made this "leap into the void", have come together to write this book in which they share their own experience and give you lots of advice to help you prepare for this life change. You will discover, among other things, how to integrate into the rural fabric, organize and cultivate your vegetable garden in permaculture, raise a few animals, achieve food self-sufficiency...
