Welcome to the Bootstrap Book Series!

Practical Plans for Profitable Small-Scale Farming.

Are you dreaming of making a living—or at least some real income—from your small piece of land? You're not alone. Across the country, people are realizing that real security comes from what you can build yourself, and wondering:

Can I really build a business from my little patch of soil?

The answer is yes!—if you do it smart.

That’s where Bootstrap Books comes in.  I wrote this series for rural entrepreneurs like you: folks with limited time, modest budgets, and a deep desire to create something meaningful (and profitable) right where they live.

Whether you’ve got an 1/4 of an acre or twenty, these books show you how to start small, stay lean, and grow wisely.

The books focus on low-risk, low-cost ways to test ideas, generate income, and build a foundation for a real farm business—without going into debt or getting overwhelmed.

Each book in the series offers a practical plan tailored to a specific enterprise, from fresh produce to small livestock, from weekend side hustles to scalable operations. No fluff. No fantasies. Just real-world guidance based on what works.

Inside each Bootstrap Book , you’ll find:

  • Step-by-step startup plans

    The New Terra Farm "10X Guarantee"

    10x Guarantee

    I wrote every Bootstrap Book to deliver real, practical, valuable information you can put to work right away. 

    You might be wondering why I priced the Bootstrap Books so low. It's NOT because the contents aren't valuable.

    All the Bootstrap Books are priced at just $7 because I truly believe North America needs more small growers. Hard times are a-coming, and this is my way of helping more people build additional income streams and become more self-sufficient.

    In fact, I believe in the value of these books so much that If you aren't convinced this book gave you at least 10 times the value of what you paid—whether in saved time, earned income, or avoided mistakes—just let me know.

    I’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked. I stand behind every word in this series, because I’ve used these systems myself—and I know they work.

    If for any reason, or no reason at all, you are not 100% satisfied simply send me an email, scott@new-terra-natural-food.com and I'll refund every penny of your investment . . .No questions asked!

    Over more than a decade and more than 2,000 sales, I've been asked for a refund exactly twice. Which I promptly and happily issued. So I am pretty confident you will find a lot of value here.
