520    Called 'a veritable tree whisperer' by the Wall Street 
       Journal, Peter Wohlleben is known across the world for his
       illuminating books about forests and how to help them 
       thrive. Now, the German forester invites readers into his 
       home for the first time in Our Little Farm, describing the
       steps he and his wife, Miriam, have taken to live 
       sustainably and in harmony with nature. Peter and Miriam 
       moved from the city to a remote forest lodge in the early 
       nineties. Amidst juggling careers and raising a young 
       family, they learned how to plant and rotate crops, 
       harvest and preserve nature's bounty, and tend to the 
       unique needs of their animals and environment. Along the 
       way, they made mistakes and abandoned some projects (sheep
       raising was not their thing) but maintained a sense of joy
       in their shared goal. Brimming with insights, wisdom, and 
       tips on everything from constructing farm buildings to 
       choosing the perfect chicken, Our Little Farm shows that, 
       with a little grit, humor, and self-compassion, it's 
       possible to live according to our values and to care for 
       the earth even as we care for ourselves, our homes, and 
       our families.
