Three acres, worked intensively, can free a family from wage slavery. Bolton Hall's influential manifesto shows how to buy a small farm, make a living from little land, and even garden vacant city lots. Practical, radical, and hopeful, it fueled the back-to-the-land dream. Claim your patch of ground and your independence with it.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
