With just a quarter acre of land, you can feed a family of four with fresh, organic food year-round. This comprehensive guide to self-sufficiency gives you all the information you need to grow and preserve a variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, and grains; raise chickens for eggs and meat; raise cows, sheep, and goats for meat or milk; raise pigs and rabbits; and keep honey bees. Simple instructions make it easy to enjoy canned, frozen, dried, and pickled produce all winter; use your own grains to make bread, pasta, and beer; turn fresh milk into delicious homemade yogurt, butter, and cheese; make your own wine, cordials, and herbal teas; and much, much more. It truly is possible to eat entirely from your backyard.

“Bottom line is, even if you’re not ready for complete self-sufficiency, in today’s economic climate, it just makes sense to try to produce some of your own food. And this book is a great way to get your feet wet.”

I want to thank you, ever so much, for such a wonderful company!!! I purchased many different herbs and some bentonite clay from y'all and love all of it!

I am now a believer! I will most definitely be using your website as as reference for which herb(s) I should use for which ailment.

I am 17 and and just getting into "herbology". I'd always wished to be a nutritionist, but didn't quite know (I hadn't researched, yet) how to go about it. Now I can start learning (teaching/researching for myself) so much of it for free!!! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! ~Emily
