Description
From Jill Ragan, author of The Tiny but Mighty Farm, comes the resource backyard farmers, gardeners, and homesteaders have been waiting for! This complete, well organized, and easy-to-use logbook for recording all of the activities, tools, and to-dos required to run a successful home farm is organized by your garden’s cycles, not calendar dates.
Divided into seasonal sections—from early-season straight through to post-season—you’ll easily be able to track everything from planting dates and chore lists to plant yields and harvest times, no matter what climate and zone you grow in. Whether you use your garden’s yields yourself or sell it to others at a farmer’s market or CSA program, this planner is an essential tool for success.
Included in each seasonal section are:
- Seed, plant, and tool inventory record sheets
- Budget tracking and expense logs
- Seed starting and planting schedules and charts
- Pest and disease trackers
- Monthly chore checklists
- Supply needs lists
- Variety reviews
- Plus, plenty of room to record all the little details a gardener needs to keep track of!
Additional resources include goal tracking for 1, 5, and 10 years from now, recording pages for soil test results, places to track amendments and fertilizers used, advice on trellising systems, cover crops and crop rotation tracking, and end-of-year crop evaluations. With handy grower’s tips sprinkled throughout, The Tiny Farm Planner is a complete system for recording all the data, thoughts, and inspiration you need to keep your garden productive and healthy from year to year.

Starting something new, like farming, can often feel overwhelming, especially when you're unsure of where to begin. This planner helps organize your thoughts into a well-rounded strategy for starting and maintaining a small farm. It covers everything from planning and budgeting to setting short- and long-term goals, making it a valuable resource for anyone new to farming or for those who’ve already started but need help getting organized.

I absolutely loved this little book, easy to make your own bullet journal from her ideas or even use her book and keep repurchasing her journal.
She left nothing off the process and the visual charts to us made it so easy to really grasp the process and not fear failure.
Absolutely must buy.

I love this little comprehensive guide to small scale farming. It's a great guide and record book. Although I received the electronic form of the book via NetGalley, I'll be purchasing the print edition to fully use all of the features.

This planner is amazing!
I honestly thought I’d be looking through just planner pages and the detail and suggestions took me completely off guard.
If you’re new to gardening I highly recommend this planner. Honestly it has everything you need to start your garden to how to end the year and how to give your soil a break and/or what to plant to help make your soil nutrient dense again.
Overall I was extremely surprised and I hope to put this to good use starting spring of 2025n

This is a gorgeously illustrated guide for home gardeners. I’m always looking for ways to improve my harvests, and I love the charts and guides in this—very helpful for when you don’t even know where to start—even when you’ve been planting for years! But I don’t consider myself an expert by any means, and I’d come back to the information here again and again.
Thank you to the publisher for making The Tiny Farm Planner available to read and review through NetGalley.
