Self-sufficiency for all

"The Backyard Homestead: Produce all the food you need on just a quarter acre!" may be the best food self-sufficiency book available today. The well-organized book packs hundreds of ideas into its pages, allowing readers to pick and choose what works for them, no matter how much space and time they have available.

Want to milk a goat or grow wheat? Keep bees or smoke meat? Make beer or bake bread? It's all here, along with plenty of other ideas that range from very simple to much more complex.

If you're in the suburbs or have limited space or lack the stomach for slaughter, you might run into problems raising the pigs, chickens, rabbits or other creatures. Try the vegetable patch, or planting fruit trees or designing the landscape to protect your home against the elements. Or perhaps you live in tighter quarters. Then a vertical garden or making flavored vinegars would work. There really is something for everybody here who wants to have a hand in growing or raising some of the food that they eat.

This easy-to-follow book outlines ways to turn a quarter acre of space into a mini-farm, producing 1,400 eggs, 50 pounds of wheat, 60 pounds of fruit, 2,000 pounds of vegetables, 280 pounds of pork and 75 pounds of nuts. You won't feel pressured by this author to turn into Farmer Jones. Start with something easy and move on from there.
