"This is a nice short 'how to' guide for people who are looking for an overview of they'll need to know. While far from being an A-Z manual that you could live by, it does help organize the questions that one must answer for themselves before starting a small family farm.
The book does have interesting chapters about simple machines and farm equipment that I found very helpful. The tone is, in places, a little sexist which I found a bit off putting.
If you're only going to read one book about small scale farming I would recommend "The Good Life," by Scott and Helen Nearing."
