Score

This list could be umpteen pages long. Nice idea, but maybe should be broken down into eras, or maybe at least defined as "work" on the family farm or ranch... because many of these have nothing to do with actual farming or ranching.

But I'm not the list founder. If I decide to care, I'll set up narrower lists myself.

My idea was just to collect farm and ranch settings. They don't necessarily have to be traditional working farms. I like having modern as well as historical settings. But I'm also fine if other people want to create narrower lists!

Thanks for clarifying!

This book is too gorgeous not to share, but falls short of the age-range here:
Harvest Home
(I also really like Prairie Days, in the same vein, and Rainflowers, which is a farm with corn and pumpkins set upon by a rainstorm. Breathtakingly beautiful). :)

Those are lovely!

You could add them to the Farmyard Fun list, which is just for picture books.

Oooh, thank you! Drat, was searching all over for such a list earlier! Will do!

Another, but I'm full up:
Autumn Journey

Thank you! I managed to cannibalize one of my votes and added it.

Definitely a good idea to collect additional titles here, in case anyone else has room to add them to the list.

If any kind voters have room on their vote list, here are a few more vintage titles to add:

One from Northern Ireland: All Because of Dawks


And another, a croft (small-scale, Scottish subsistence farming) on a Hebridean island: An Island in a Green Sea


A Strange Enchantment is about a young city girl who joins the Women's Land Army during WWII and learns all about farm life

Many by Bessie Marchant also qualify (SUPER vintage!), such as:

Denvers Wilson's Double: A Story of New Mexico


(there are many more, set in Canada, South America, Mexico, another in New Mexico...)

And some that aren't on GR yet, either, like:

From the Scourge of the Tongue
Bessie Marchant
"After her father's death, Belinda tries to keep her family farm going with only the help of her sisters and a few workmen. But a shameful secret from her past makes it hard for her to keep the respect of the local people." (set in England, possibly Dorset)
London : A. Melrose, [1901]
OCLC Number: 1230954928
207pp

Thanks for these! Hopefully someone has room to add them.

Hill Ranch- I wanted to add this gem, too! :(

....and Shooting Star Farm

The Last Straw - with a magic corn-husk doll and time travelling, working to save the harvest and therefore the farm..

Thanks for continuing to collect these! :)

College on Horseback & Back to Buckeye
two vintage beauties from the 1930s. ;)

A vintage British series:

Ohhh, I missed a great one:

Home Sweet Home
Tracy undergoes a drastic lifestyle change when her family moves from their New York City apartment to Grandmother Tilly's farm where she makes few friends until Anya, a foreign exchange student, arrives from the Soviet Union.

There are just so many!

We need more farm enthusiasts to vote, lol.

I added those, Capn.

Awesome, thanks so much for the additions!
