Publisher's summary

How did people eat before giant corporations stocked grocery stores?

It's a complex question that many people are facing now more than ever.

In recent years, we've seen trends in panic-buying, chemicals infiltrating our produce, and our foods being processed with artificial products.

What's happened to the food we eat?

What purpose is the land in our backyard serving?

Homesteading is having a new surge in popularity as people look for more ways to become self-sustaining. You can learn all the basics to start a backyard homestead.

That means, you need not go buy a plot of land; instead, you can homestead with the very foundation of it in mind, use what you have on hand, and cultivate for the future.

  • Seven of the best resources for new homesteaders or home farmers

  • How to make the most of your seeds and cultivars

  • Step-by-step monthly maintenance calendar

When you have finished this audiobook, you'll understand how to create and plan a homestead and how to maintain it in the months and years to come.

There's no doubt that you can build the skill set necessary to cultivate the ground and develop your property into something that can sustain you and your family. Take your first steps to learn to live a self-sufficient life by getting this audiobook now.

Perfect for a beginner gardener

I bought this audible at the recommendation from a friend who has her vegetable garden. First, I checked it out at the library to see if it would be useful to me and got so enthusiastic about gardening that I decided to buy it. I had never gardened here in Virginia. I grew up in Colorado wherever gardening is a request. One of my childhood chores was weeding a garden that never presented a single vegetable.

make our mini farm full of healthy foods

In this audible, we are allowed to learn how to make sustainable backyard farming. Even we are in a city or a faraway land, we can maximize the small area in our backyards. Backyard farming is so useful to every individual. By farming your vegetables and fruits, you ensure your family that the foods you eat are all-natural and free from harmful pesticides.

Micro Farming

When does your garden become the micro-farm? When you offer more than you need to eat and can sell at a good value. It is not the size of the plot, but rather how to use your plot. Plus, keeping the right things to grow that sell well. (No one wants radishes. Everyone likes potatoes.) Part of a set of books - get all of them.

More "backyard" than "homestead"

Only one real chicken coop - quite a bit of info on fences, not exactly what I was looking for but there are a few gems in here.
