Welcome Home!

Hobby Farm Home was published from 2006 to 2014, and its spirit lives on through its parent publication Hobby Farms and online companion, HobbyFarms.com. We hope this special second-edition annual rekindles your interest of this beloved food, craft and home publication.

And as we are all spending more time at home these days, let’s make the most of it by learning to do more for ourselves, from cooking old-fashioned candy recipes (page 26) to creating our own cultured milk products (page 16), from soapmaking (page 66) to making sauerkraut, from water-bath canning (page 48) to boiling water for homemade herbal tea (page 80).
