A Very Small Farm

In the tradition of Thoreau's Walden William Paul Winchester offers a chronicle of everyday life on Southwind his farm of twenty acres. As a subsistence farmer he builds his own house and barn puts in a garden and an orchard acquires a milk cow and takes up beekeeping. In these pages we hear his thoughts on such subjects as the weather seasonal changes machinery repair the flora and fauna of the region and vegetarian cooking. His philosophy like his lifestyle is simple yet profoundly wise.
