Regenerative Agriculture: A Practical Whole Systems Guide to Making Small Farms Work

Richard Perkins’ Regenerative Agriculture has become a cult classic among small-scale farmers, and for good reason. This 741-page manual is more than a guide—it’s a roadmap to designing profitable, resilient, and ecologically sound farms. Drawing from his experience at Ridgedale Farm in Sweden, where he grosses over €250,000 annually on just 10.6 hectares, Perkins shares systems, spreadsheets, and proven strategies. Whether you’re scaling up a homestead or running a diversified farm, this book is packed with actionable insights.

Why It’s Tough Enough for Tough Kraut
• Comprehensive Farm Guide: At 741 pages, this book covers design, enterprise planning, soil building, and profitability with unmatched detail.
• Tested in the Field: Based on Ridgedale Farm’s success—earning €250,000 annually in Sweden’s short growing season—showing the system’s resilience.
• Numbers That Matter: Includes comparative analysis and financial spreadsheets for 13 different enterprises, from pastured poultry to vegetable production.
• Grassroots Legacy: A crowdfunded, self-published work that grew into a global reference, proving its real-world value beyond mainstream marketing.

Proven Finishing Touches
• Highly Rated: Holds a 4.7 out of 5 stars Amazon rating, often praised as “the bible of regenerative farming.”
• Trusted Worldwide: Cult following among serious farmers and land stewards who value its practical, no-nonsense depth.
• Practical + Profitable: Not just philosophy—real spreadsheets, enterprise budgets, and case studies included.

Why We Love It
At Tough Kraut, we see this book as the missing link between vision and viability. Plenty of guides talk about soil health and ecosystem repair, but few show how to make it financially sustainable. Perkins does both. His whole-systems approach mirrors what many of us strive for on our homesteads—regeneration that feeds people, restores landscapes, and pays the bills. It’s the book we wish we’d had when starting out.
