What this is
800 guides, three planners, a canning day checklist and seasonal checklists for first-time homesteaders, hobby-farm owners and families with a few acres.
How we write
Plain, honest and careful. We explain how things work, what they cost in categories, and who to ask locally. We never state local rules from memory and we never give canning times or pressures.
Who we are not
We are not an extension service, USDA, Cornell or any brand. We use their public pages as sources and link them.
farm.FM
We are a family site of farm.FM. A calm band at the bottom of most pages links to family-friendly humor there. It never appears on pages about animal death, illness emergencies or food-safety failures.
