(4.9 stars; 4 reviews)

A new life in the country was another chance for Kate Saint Maur and her husband after a business failure left them in dire straits in the city. She moved to the country and made, with little knowledge of farming and even less money to begin, a life and home that was not only self-sustaining but profitable. Here she explains how they transformed from city dwellers to independent farmers. She shares her acquired knowledge of how to grow fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and small fruit, as well as how to keep bees, raise poultry and other livestock, and breed canaries. In essence, she shares how she made a go of it.- Summary by A. Gramour (5 hr 51 min)
