Readers thinking about taking the plunge into homesteading will find this to be an excellent resource."-- "Publishers Weekly" Review Quotes: "Three groups of people might find this book helpful or intriguing: those who have recently purchased a piece of land and want to use it to increase their self-sufficiency in various ways; those who intend to do this in the future; and those who just like reading about other people getting into homesteading. ... I have no intention of ever keeping pigs, but still found the descriptions of how to build a pigsty and where to locate it on your property kind of fascinating."--Erica H.
