In The Tiny But Mighty Farm, author Jill Ragan of @whisperingwillowfrm aims to help you turn your typical suburban property into a food-growing machine to feed your family, connect to your community, and maybe even turn a profit. There are very real benefits to growing your own food. From concerns about food quality and security issues to the high cost of food, the ranks of those interested in backyard farming are increasing. The backyard farming movement is about regular people who live in regular houses turning all or part of their property into a productive, high -yielding mini farm. This movement differs from gardening in that it is a deliberate approach, aimed at growing as much as you can with as little land and as little input as you can. Everything is done with purpose, rather than as a fun hobby.

Jill Ragan is a small farmer and online educator, balancing life as a wife and mother of three beautiful girls. Her journey into growing food began when she saw a largely unmet need in our society; with broken food systems, unfortunate waste, and an overall lack of connection to our Earth. She started growing food for her family instead of sourcing it from the grocery store, reducing waste as much as possible, and learning how to compost. Shortly thereafter, Jill began teaching others how important it is to do the same for themselves. She started documenting the simple changes she was implementing to contribute to the health of our planet and has since grown an extensive following on YouTube's Whispering Willow Farm channel. Jill now grows food full time on a much larger scale on her family 's tiny but mighty home farm. She teaches others daily and takes advantage of any opportunity to demonstrate how even the smallest environmental action can make a significant impact. With passion and personality, Jill is committed to sharing her hard-earned knowledge with anyone and everyone she can.
