Katie Kulla and her husband started farming in Oregon in 2006 and had two children on the farm. This is the first book anyone has written on the actual question that follows, which is how you run a CSA and raise a family in the same twelve hours of daylight, and it is written by someone who did it rather than someone who studied it.
It is practical where you need practical. Which chores a four year old can genuinely own and which ones only look age appropriate. How to build play into a working farm so children are occupied near you instead of underfoot. Homeschooling around a season that does not care about term dates. What to do in the weeks when the farm wins and the family loses. Kulla brings in other farmer parents throughout, and the featured families run across different backgrounds, regions, family sizes and farm scales, so the advice is not one household generalized into a rule.
A 240 page Storey trade paperback with a foreword by Lynn Byczynski. The right gift for the couple who just bought the land and have not yet worked out what happens in year three.
