About this audiobook

When author Edmund Morris left the Philadelphia business world in the early 1800s and bought a small farm in the New Jersey countryside, he was so pleased with the results of his venture that he decided to tell others how he accomplished it. His written chronicle—one of the most popular books of its time—emphasizes that agricultural success depends not on how much you grow but on what and how. With a wealth of invaluable information and useful tips, this timeless handbook is of value to both prospective and existing farmers. Contents include: "City Experiences—Moderate Expectations", "Practical Views—Safety of Investments in Land", "Resolved to Go—Escape from Business—Choosing a Location", "Buying a Farm—A Long Search—Anxiety to Sell—Forced to Quit", "Making a Purchase—First Impressions", etc.

This audiobook is expertly read by Suzie Althens, with audio engineering by Katie Jackson. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

PLEASE NOTE: The audiobook includes a supplemental PDF. It will be provided on purchase.
