Ten years after Henry David Thoreau learned how to be a poor farmer, Edmund Morris learned how to be a good one. Ten Acres Enough is the personal story of how Morris quit the publishing business and achieved happiness and prosperity by farming ten acres of fruits and berries. Rather than glorifying poverty and isolation, Ten Acres Enough shows farming as the path to financial security, while still providing all the benefits of country life—provided that the farmer understands that the key lies in producing crops of the highest possible quality, while living within striking distance of a major market.

Sweet, I'll have to add this to my to read list.

Looking at land around here it looks like smaller and smaller lots of land are the only things close to feasible. I've given up on 50+ acres, and I am slowly coming to terms that 25+ may be the next barrier to fall.

Seeing as I'm about to get the keys to 10 acres, I'm certainly hoping it will be enough...

On the reading list for sure!
