Editorial Reviews

Review

"I just finished reading The Suburban Micro-Farm and I can say without reservation that it's the best book of its kind I've read yet. My verdict: 5 out of 5 stars. Get a copy and get another copy for a friend." - David Goodman @Mother Earth News

"Great for green thumbs or anyone ready to think about seed catalogs, spring planting, and biting into fresh figs or tomatoes." - Library Journal

"Those who live in the suburbs would likely agree it offers many advantages, such as proximity to schools, workplaces, and other amenities. But how about its food production potential? In The Suburban Micro-Farm, Amy Stross makes the case that all sorts of small spaces can yield a surprising amount of food, and it can be done without sacrificing every spare moment. The secret is thinking like a farmer, but on a micro-scale." - Mary S. Chadduck, The American Gardener

"A suburban micro-farmer myself, I love Stross's no-nonsense advice, colorful pictures, and detailed organizational planning. From creating rich soil to composting, planting vegetables to growing fruit trees or kitchen herbs, The Suburban Micro-Farm is jam-packed with information and deserves a spot on your bookshelf." - Jennifer Melville, San Francisco Book Review

"...this book takes a permaculture approach to starting a micro-farm in the suburbs that speaks not just to a stay-at-home mom or dad, but to all busy people. Indeed, it is one of the few gardening books that is aware that you may not have a lot of time to start a garden, and shows you that it's still possible anyway." - Jesse Frost, Hobby Farms

About the Author

Amy Stross is a permaculture gardener, writer, and educator with a varied background in home-scale food production.

Through years of experience as a professional gardener specializing in ecologically friendly and edible landscapes, she discovered that healthy fruits and vegetables could actually grow right outside her own door.

After receiving her permaculture design certificate, she began to design ecologically regenerative and productive landscapes for others. Her own 0.10-acre micro-farm became a thriving example, with berry bushes, fruit trees, herbs, flowers, and vegetable gardens.

Amy also founded and ran a 5-year community food forest project at her local university, which included a variety of edible gardens.

Her current adventure is transforming a 3-acre property into a micro-farm with her husband and mischievous farm cat. She reaches hundreds of thousands of people with her adventures and expertise in small-scale permaculture gardening on her popular website, TenthAcreFarm.com.
