Little country cottage: an Autumn treasury of recipes, crafts and wisdom by Angela Ferraro-Fanning is a charmingly illustrated seasonal treasury book of nature-based crafts, bakes and gardening projects for autumn. It celebrates the country cottage lifestyle with self-sufficient and eco-friendly fun!

Little country cottage offers easy yet delicious autumn recipes and treats that introduce young readers to local and seasonal eating. From pumpkin muffins to home-made apple chips, the easy-to-make recipes will inspire kids to get into the kitchen. It also offers suggestions for using up unloved parts of produce, such as ways to make use of apple cores and peel, demonstrating a naturally zero-waste way of living.

The book outlines accessible and engaging crafts, such as making a gratitude tree and a woven basket, with instructions broken down into clear illustrated steps.

The seasonal gardening and growing projects, such as planting herbs, can be done in a big back yard or on a windowsill, making this eco-friendly activity book a fun resource, whether readers are based in towns or the country!

Woven alongside the cooking, crafting and planting projects are little snippets of seasonal information and self-sufficient wisdom from homesteading teacher Angela Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead, with a focus on enjoying and celebrating the best of what autumn has to offer.

About Angela Ferraro-Fanning

Angela Ferraro-Fanning is a self-taught first-generation farmer who built Axe & Root Homestead, a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. Originally a graphic and website designer by trade, she owned and operated her own design firm for over a decade. After the birth of her first child, she realized she wanted to be outdoors, aligning her life with the seasons and with nature.

She now grows and preserves her own homegrown produce for her young family and runs a farm bustling with Clydesdales, geese and ducks for eggs, an apiary with ten beehives, sheep, and a small orchard. She shares this love for eco-conscious, self-sufficient living with others through social media, her books and online homesteading classes, the HOMESTEADucation podcast she co-hosts with Mandi Pickering of Wild Oak Farms, public speaking, and regular contributions to publications such as Countryside Magazine, Backyard Beekeeping, and Backyard Poultry Magazines.
