Ten Acres Enough - A Practical...

Edmund Morris

Ten Acres Enough: The Original Small-Farm Blueprint for Profitable Independence—Now with a New Introduction  
What if financial independence didn’t require vast land, crushing debt, or industrial scale—just intelligence, discipline, and ten well-managed acres?  
First published in 1858, Ten Acres Enough by Edmund Morris is one of the most practical and quietly radical books ever written about small-scale farming, homesteading, and self-reliant living. Morris documents, in clear and methodical detail, how he escaped city dependence and built a profitable, sustainable livelihood on limited land—using careful planning, diversified production, and relentless attention to costs and returns. This is not pastoral fantasy; it is a numbers-driven case study in applied independence.  
This edition has been thoughtfully updated for modern readers. It includes a new Introduction by audiobook narrator David Allen, placing Morris’s insights in today’s economic context, and the original charts have been repositioned for smoother, more convenient reading.  
Whether you are a homesteader, small farmer, investor, or simply someone questioning the assumption that “bigger is better,” Ten Acres Enough offers a timeless, field-tested framework for doing more with less—and doing it profitably.
