It's a movement that's gaining popularity as the food industry grows bigger, if you have the land starting your own small farm and growing your own fruits and vegetables. Susie Middleton, who wrote the book Fresh From The Farm, told Tonia's Kitchen that growing your own food is something she's very excited about. Susie talked with Tonia about her small farm, a 1-acre affair that grows a lot of what her family eats. Of course, not everyone has an acre, but in her book, Susie talks about the ways that you can start a sub-farm and keep it vibrant.
