Book excerpt: Little Farm in the Henhouse brings you the joys and challenges of keeping a backyard flock of laying hens--with tips and techniques for healthy, happy chickens! This engaging memoir of nature, wildlife, and most of all, chicken caring follows a midlife couple's hen adventures in the Foothills of the Cascade Mountains. When city girl Susan moves out to the country to start a homestead, getting a few hens seems like a great idea. Problem: what little she knew about farm animals was what she read in books. Still, Susan and her husband John are big on self-reliance, so they forge ahead with their plan for keeping chickens...despite the learning curve. And what an eye-opener it is! Once they bring six pullets to their wooded acreage, on the fly, Susan and John must figure out chicken care, habits, and especially chicken protection. In this 4th book of the Little Farm homesteading series, you'll discover the magic of different chicken personalities and the teachable moments of raising hens in the middle of the woods. Whether you already have a flock of "girls" or or thinking of getting one, you'll discover lots of practical tips and best practices for keeping chickens healthy and content--and a whole lot of what not to do! Yet caring for hens in a remote area is not all sweetness and light... Along with many joys, Susan and John experience many sorrows as well. Yet in these irresistible chicken tales, you may discover that hens don't simply provide eggs--they may give you a deeper appreciation for all living creatures. Susan Colleen Browne is the author of the award-winning Little Farm in the Foothills, and the sequel, Little Farm Homegrown, as well as the popular gardening guide, Little Farm in the Garden. She also pens the Village of Ballydara series, warmhearted fiction set in the Irish countryside. When not in the garden, Susan is working on her latest Irish novel!

Book excerpt: When two Boomers flee the city for a slower, simpler, and more serene lifestyle, they discover that simplicity can get awfully complicated… and life becomes anything but serene. In this award-winning, true-life tale for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages, Little Farm in the Foothills follows a midlife couple’s pursuit of the “new” Great American Dream—living closer to the land—as they start growing their own organic food, living more simply, and transforming an old clearcut into a little homestead. What Susan and her husband John thought was a modest plan becomes an adventure that is more life-changing than they envisioned, and they face more adversity and more joys than they ever could have imagined. Little Farm in the Foothills is not a memoir about farming…it’s a warmhearted story of making a dream come true. As Susan writes of their Foothills home, “it’s not a farm, it’s not even a ‘farmette,’ but it’s the dream of a farm.” “The Browne’s foray into slower living…is an enjoyable read. Their delightful, yet very real, experiences in making the big leap toward their dreams make for a humorous and charming book.” —Washington State Librarian Jan Walsh “A delightful account.” —The Bellingham Herald

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fans of Katherine Applegate and Erin Entrada Kelly will love this quirky story of a determined girl, and some extraordinary chickens. Twelve-year-old Sophie Brown feels like a fish out of water when she and her parents move from Los Angeles to the farm they’ve inherited from a great-uncle. But farm life gets more interesting when a cranky chicken appears and Sophie discovers the hen can move objects with the power of her little chicken brain: jam jars, the latch to her henhouse, the entire henhouse.... And then more of her great-uncle’s unusual chickens come home to roost. Determined, resourceful Sophie learns to care for her flock, earning money for chicken feed, collecting eggs. But when a respected local farmer tries to steal them, Sophie must find a way to keep them (and their superpowers) safe. Told in letters to Sophie’s abuela, quizzes, a chicken-care correspondence course, to-do lists, and more, Unusual Chickens is a quirky, clucky classic in the making.

The site on which Alistair Moffat’s farm now stands has been occupied since prehistoric times. Walking this landscape you can feel the presence and see the marks of those who lived here before. But it is also the story of everywhere. In uncovering the history of one piece of land, Moffat shows how history is all around us, if only we have the eyes to see it. Taking the form of a journal of a year, this is a walk through the centuries as much as the seasons, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who came before, as well as those who live here now.

Book excerpt: Gwen has spent her whole life in a big egg-laying hen house, so she knows very little about what chickens can do (besides lay eggs, of course). A fateful tornado turns her world upside-down and sideways, landing her in a strange new place that's nothing like the hen house. Using her wits and chicken superpowers, Gwen dodges danger at every turn until she finds safety and friendship with a boy named Mateo. Together they discover how extraordinary an ordinary chicken really is. The book includes a bonus section called "More About Chickens," where curious readers can learn that chickens have extraordinary eyesight, a complex language of 24 sounds, and are descended from dinosaurs, among other fun facts. Gwen the Rescue Hen is the second children's book in Stone Pier Press's Farm Animal Rescue Series, perfect for ages 4 to 7. The first book, Sprig the Rescue Pig, was released in the Spring of 2018.
