Starting a farm even a small hobby farm in the backyard can have many rewards, but can be stressful when learning the ropes of the business. Don't think that it is not a business, because if you don't manage it properly you will lose money and animals live. You might even get fined. This book will help point you in the right direction when just starting out with a hobby farm. There are many great things a hobby farm can offer your family. There is self sustainability from raising your own foods to eat but you can sell your extra to make the cash you need to buy other things you can't produce on the farm. This book will mention the basics of construction, husbandry, and gardening as well as how to preserve the bounty of your hobby farm.
