Advice on parenting; Self-sufficiency; Home & house maintenance

Essential parenting advice and practical strategies for engaging kids in farm life-to create opportunities for play and learning, to foster resilience and independence, and to keep kids busy while you're running your farm or backyard homestead.

In this first-ever book on the topic, author Katie Kulla offers her own hard-won wisdom, gleaned from more than a decade of raising kids while running a CSA farm with her husband. The book also features invaluable advice and insights from other farmer-parents and a wealth of practical tips and ideas for how to engage children on the farm-including activities for learning and play, and suggestions for how to enlist kids in chores and other farm responsibilities. Included are experiences and stories of diverse farm families encompassing a variety of identities and backgrounds across geographic locations, race and genders, family sizes, and farm scales, to represent the real face of farming today.

Reviews for Farm-Raised Kids: Parenting Strategies for Balancing Family Life with Running a Small Farm or Homestead

This gorgeous book offers the gifts and challenges of what it looks like to bring our children alongside in the work of healing and harvesting. I marvel at what might just be possible if more of us placed our babies in the dirt, helped them put seeds in the ground, and reimagined what it means to be part of the wild ecosystem to which we belong.--Lydia Wylie-Kellermann, author of This Sweet Earth: Walking with our Children in the Age of Climate Collapse This is a beautiful book filled with tons of real life examples from farmers and homesteaders around the country, and their kids ... it's wonderful to see their good examples shared more widely to benefit the next generation of up and coming farmers.--Josh Volk, author of Compact Farms and Build Your Own Farm Tools
