Homesteading Handbook vol. 1: The Beginner's Guide to Becoming Self-Sustainable - Paperback

by Michelle Grande (Author)

Learn to homestead and learn to be self-sufficient.

Modern-day homesteaders are throwbacks to the days of old. They raise and grow much of their food, practice food preservation techniques and know how to live off the land. While some may scoff at the lifestyle of a homesteader, they tend to be happier and healthier than most people caught up in the hustle and bustle of the Western lifestyle.

Homesteaders make efficient use of their time and their money in an effort to be largely self-sufficient. This book covers many of the topics a beginning homesteader is going to want to learn more about before getting started.

Here are just some of the many topics covered in this helpful handbook:

• What homesteading is and how it can benefit you.
• Why the all or nothing approach isn't the best approach for most people.
