Description

A practical yet pretty small-farm planner that serves as a guidebook, record keeper, and task tracker for small-scale farmers and backyard gardeners everywhere. 

From Jill Ragan, author of The Tiny but Mighty Farm, comes the resource backyard farmers, gardeners, and homesteaders have been waiting for! This complete, well organized, and easy-to-use logbook for recording all of the activities, tools, and to-dos required to run a successful home farm is organized by your garden’s cycles, not calendar dates.

Divided into seasonal sections—from early-season straight through to post-season—you’ll easily be able to track everything from planting dates and chore lists to plant yields and harvest times, no matter what climate and zone you grow in. Whether you use your garden’s yields yourself or sell it to others at a farmer’s market or CSA program, this planner is an essential tool for success.

Included in each seasonal section are: 
 

  • Seed, plant, and tool inventory record sheets
  • Budget tracking and expense logs
  • Seed starting and planting schedules and charts
  • Pest and disease trackers
  • Monthly chore checklists
  • Supply needs lists
  • Variety reviews 
  • Plus, plenty of room to record all the little details a gardener needs to keep track of!


Additional resources include goal tracking for 1, 5, and 10 years from now, recording pages for soil test results, places to track amendments and fertilizers used, advice on trellising systems, cover crops and crop rotation tracking, and end-of-year crop evaluations. With handy grower’s tips sprinkled throughout, The Tiny Farm Planner is a complete system for recording all the data, thoughts, and inspiration you need to keep your garden productive and healthy from year to year.

A practical yet pretty small-farm planner that serves as a guidebook, record keeper, and task tracker for small-scale farmers and backyard gardeners everywhere.

NetGalley review in app

I absolutely loved this little book, easy to make your own bullet journal from her ideas or even use her book and keep repurchasing her journal.
She left nothing off the process and the visual charts to us made it so easy to really grasp the process and not fear failure.
Absolutely must buy.
