    “Book Descriptions: From Peter Wohlleben, the New York Times -bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees , and his wife, Miriam, comes an inspired, practical memoir of creating a sustainable homestead amongst the trees.

    Called "a veritable tree whisperer" by the Wall Street Journal , Peter Wohlleben is known across the world for his illuminating books about forests and how to help them thrive. Now, the German forester invites readers into his home for the first time in Our Little Farm , describing the steps he and his wife, Miriam, have taken to live sustainably and in harmony with nature.

    Peter and Miriam moved from the city to a remote forest lodge in the early nineties. Amidst juggling careers and raising a young family, they learned how to plant and rotate crops, harvest and preserve nature's bounty, and tend to the unique needs of their animals and environment. Along the way, they made mistakes and abandoned some projects (sheep raising was not their thing) but maintained a sense of joy in their shared goal.

    Brimming with insights, wisdom, and tips on everything from constructing farm buildings to choosing the perfect chicken, Our Little Farm shows that, with a little grit, humor, and self-compassion, it's possible to live according to our values and to care for the earth even as we care for ourselves, our homes, and our families.
