Farm-Raised Kids: Parenting Strategies for Balancing Family Life with Running a Small Farm or Homestead by Katie Kulla

A book cover titled “FARM-RAISED KIDS” with images of family activities on a farm, including gardening and holding animals.

In this first-ever book on the topic, author Katie Kulla offers her own hard-won wisdom, gleaned from more than a decade of raising kids while running a CSA farm with her husband. The book also features invaluable advice and insights from other farmer-parents and a wealth of practical tips and ideas for how to engage children on the farm—including activities for learning and play, and suggestions for how to enlist kids in chores and other farm responsibilities. Included are experiences and stories of diverse farm families encompassing a variety of identities and backgrounds across geographic locations, race and genders, family sizes, and farm scales, to represent the real face of farming today.
