Is
Small Farmer's Journal's website an online
version of the magazine? No. Small
Farmer's Journal is both a publishing company
and a periodical. This website serves the entire
business and as such offers information and
products beyond the contents of SFJ. This website
also serves as a fully functioning catalog store
where you may get information on our products
and order direct if you choose. We will be
working to regularly update the website newsletter "SFJ
ON...," and the announcements as
well as the Journal
index and new product
listings . We see this site as an information
based extension of Small Farmer's Journal,
Farm Romance & adventure and our
other product lines.

MORE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
Can I make a decent living with a small
farm? Yes. And the good news is that it ain't
easy. You have to work hard and use your
imagination and creativity. That's the fun and
rewarding part. The hard part will be making the
decision, the commitment, and taking the plunge.
It's important to be wary of conventional wisdom
on this subject because many will tell you you
can't do it. They honestly believe it can't be
done or have some reason to discourage you. They
believe that farming must be approached
industrially and at an industrial scale in these
modern times. Even though statistics show that
gross incomes per acre from small craft-based
organic farming enterprises regularly exceed
agribusiness per acre production by 200 to 500
percent! Seek out people who are doing it and
successfully. Seek out people who are excitedly
going about their own move to realize the dream
of a small farm. Through these people, and the
communities such as that represented by the
readership of Small Farmer's Journal, you
will gain strength through encouragement.
Can I farm with draft horses or mules?
Yes, if you have the right temperament. It's not
about your size or physical strength. It's about
your common sense, sensitivity, and
determination. It is an evasive and subtle craft
but it can be learned. In order to succeed you
must seek out good help during the learning
process. For the small diversified farm or ranch,
horsepower is not just an option, it is a
tremendous plus for self-sufficiency. Small
Farmer's Journal has offered and continues to
offer a wide variety of practical and
inspirational information on this subject in
every issue.
