The Back Cover

Whether it's making ice cream or sharpening an ax, cleaning a chimney or growing raspberries, you'll learn how to do it in this treasury of time-honored country wisdom. Illustrated step-by-step instructions will show you how to milk a cow, tap a maple tree, clean a fish, lead a horse, and build the best chicken coop. You'll find out how to heat your house with wood or by the sun and how to de-skunk a country dog. You'll learn the proper way to put in a water system, rewire an old house, stack a cord of wood, and grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

I am so glad to have found your website. I have wanted to start using herbs for a long time, but haven't known where to start. I love how much information you have on your website! I also really appreciate the Youtube videos, especially about the smoothies. I decided to start out with the Daily Boost mix, and I can't wait for it to arrive so I can start having delicious, healthy smoothies for breakfast! It is time I turned my diet around and started consuming healthier foods, and your store is helping me to do that.

Keep up the good work!
