The Farmstead: The Making of the Rural Home and the Lay-Out of the Farm(5th Edition)
1900
A comprehensive examination of rural living and agricultural practices written in the early 20th century. This work combines elements of a practical guide and a philosophical reflection on farm life, emphasizing not only the physical aspects of farming but also its social and economic dimensions. The book aims to advocate for the potential benefits of country living, illustrating how it can foster strong family bonds and promote healthy living environments. The opening of the book presents a nuanced argument for rural life, contrasting it with urban living. Roberts discusses the advantages of farm life, such as the expansive natural beauty, the cultivation of physical strength, and the opportunities for children's growth through practical experiences. He emphasizes that, despite the challenges faced by farmers regarding income and market pressures, rural homes are rich environments that can nurture strong familial relationships and a sense of community. Ultimately, the author sets the stage for exploring how well-planned farms can secure a comfortable existence, balancing both economic viability and enriching home life.
