Wow!! This book is loaded with useful information. Nearly every chapter caused me to say to myself, ‘Oh yeah, I hadn’t considered that.’ The broad spectrum of knowledge presented in this book clearly comes from experience. Recipes—for the soil, plants, animals, and larder, with constant attention to the land—resonate with a deep and nuanced understanding of nature’s annual cycles and flows. Social aspects of homesteading are also covered. Family focus and the limitations of time, skills, and equipment quickly spill over to building community, sharing risk and expenses, and weathering the inevitable difficulties that occur. This is a great reference for the anyone interested in living with the land, with a long view of the world around us.
