Description

Written in simple and direct language, The Owner-Built Homestead contains volumes of information about the various aspects of settling and farming the land, including vegetable gardening, raising animals, maintaining a fish pond, harvesting trees, and building a greenhouse. The book encourages the postmodern way of country living, a life of self-reliance and at least partial economic self-sufficiency, and will appeal not only to agrarians and full-time homesteaders, but to backyard gardeners, weekend country folk, and city-bound ecologists as well.
