Product Description
Product Description
Downshifting has become synonymous with selling up, starting a smallholding and escaping the rat race. Some people are lucky enough to purchase a property large enough to ensure that the whole family is self-sufficient, but for most only enough land will be available to make smallholding a hobby. Accordingly, this book caters for those with a small amount of land and for the lucky minority with a much larger acreage. Many of the books currently available mention only the pleasures of owning a smallholding, this volume adopts a pragmatic approach and discusses the many pitfalls.

As well as his numerous books [seven of which are published by Crowood], he writes an extremely popular 'Rural Riddles' column in French Property News, and is well know to readers of magazines such as Smallholder and Fancy Fowl. Resident - France Phil Rant is a retired British civil servant who now resides deep in the French countryside.
