Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling argument for the rewards of a life lived closer to the land. Challenging the prevailing American ambition for vast land ownership, the author champions intensive cultivation of smaller plots as a pathway to true prosperity and personal fulfillment. Drawing upon years of personal experience escaping the pressures of city life and business, the author details the journey of establishing a small-scale fruit farm. The narrative offers practical insights into land acquisition, crop selection, and cultivation techniques, all while weaving in the joys of self-sufficiency and the peace of mind that comes with it. This book delves into the economic anxieties of the mid-19th century, when financial crises and land speculation were rampant. It contrasts the precariousness of city life with the stability and security offered by responsible land stewardship. The author's journey reveals the transformative power of downshifting expectations and embracing a simpler life rooted in connection with the natural world. Ultimately, this book challenges conventional notions of success and offers a timeless message about finding lasting satisfaction in a life grounded in moderation, self-reliance, and a deep appreciation for the land's bounty. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330618585_0
