The home acre

"The Home Acre is a classic guide to cultivating not just land, but a life of intention, self-reliance, and connection to nature. Written by E. P. Roe in the late 19th century, this insightful and accessible work champions the idea that even a small plot of land can provide peace, sustenance, and deep personal satisfaction.

Blending practical advice with gentle encouragement, Roe explores how to transform a modest home garden into a source of beauty, nourishment, and fulfillment. From soil preparation to planting and seasonal care, The Home Acre offers timeless wisdom for anyone looking to live closer to the earth.

Perfect for today’s readers interested in sustainable living, plant-based lifestyles, and the joys of homegrown food, this book is a natural companion to vegetarian and meatless cooking classics. It’s more than a manual — it’s an invitation to slow down, dig in, and rediscover the richness of a cultivated life."
