Little country cottage Spring – Angela Ferraro-Fanning

The little country cottage, a Spring treasury of recipes, crafts and wisdom book by Angela Ferraro-Fanning offers nature-based crafts, cooking and gardening projects in a celebration of self-sufficient, eco-friendly, country cottage-style life!

Suited for children aged 5 to 8 years old, this book is perfect for families looking for Spring themed nature-based fun away from phones and screens. It is packed with fun ideas to keep children occupied during holidays or at weekends with sowing seedlings, learning how to care for baby chicks, brew dandelion tea and crafting wind chimes from foraged materials.

Author and homesteading teacher Angela Fanning introduces eco-friendly practices, such as recycling or reusing materials, and encourages readers to respect nature with a large variety of activities broken down into steps. Each activity is clearly explained and accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Annelies Draws.

Celebrating the best of the Spring season, this book champions creative, self-sufficiency skills and learning about nature.

Little country cottage is sustainably printed locally on 100% recycled paper and published by Ivy Kids Eco. Autumn is also available in our webshop.

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.
