Ten Acres Enough: A Farm for Free

Ten Acres Enough: A Farm for Free is a story of artful self-sufficiency and homesteading on a very small acreage combining market gardening centered on small fruit cultivation. This book answers the elemental question; how many acres do you need to have a successful farm, and how you might acquire it with little or no money? This book is for those looking to establish and succeed with a small farm, and for those large and mid-sized farmers who feel overwhelmed and under-achieved but nonetheless devoted to a working life in agriculture. This book is also for successful small farmers looking for ideas and for the language to help them make their case in the larger world. Combining the 2023 essay A Farm for Free by Lynn R. Miller and the 1864 classic Ten Acres Enough by Edmund Morris, this book provides perspective and technical information, along with formulas and hopefulness.
