With just a quarter acre of land, you can feed a family of four with fresh,
organic food year-round. This comprehensive guide to self-sufficiency
gives you all the information you need to grow and preserve a variety
of vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, and grains; raise chickens for eggs
and meat; raise cows, sheep, and goats for meat or milk; raise pigs and
rabbits; and keep honey bees. Simple instructions make it easy to enjoy
canned, frozen, dried, and pickled produce all winter; use your own grains
to make bread, pasta, and beer; turn fresh milk into delicious homemade
yogurt, butter, and cheese; make your own wine, cordials, and herbal teas;
and much, much more. It truly is possible to eat entirely from your backyard.
“Bottom line is, even if you’re not ready for complete self-sufficiency,
in today’s economic climate, it just makes sense to try to produce
some of your own food. And this book is a great way to get your feet wet.”
