The Self-Sufficient Backyard Official website

The Self-Sufficient Backyard is a practical guide designed to help you become completely self-sufficient on just ¼ acre of land. One of the first things you'll learn in the book is that only 1,020 square feet of land per person is required to meet food needs—less than 10% of a ¼ acre—when using the methods developed by the authors. This plan was crafted to support a family of four in producing all essential resources independently, while also generating enough surplus to sustain a year-round profit.

The guide provides in-depth, step-by-step instructions for every section, making it adaptable for those with smaller plots of land or fewer family members.
