Would you like to learn skills to make your home and your life simpler and cleaner but aren't sure where to begin? Are you waking up to all the chemicals present in your life and want to eliminate what you can? Would you feel more secure growing some of your own food and foraging locally for nutrient-rich wild plants?

In generations past, our families knew all of these skills but through modern conveniences and lack of time, most of us have lost these valuable traditions. It’s never too late to start learning. You could be the one to bring these skills and traditions back to your family.

Great Starting Point for Urban Homesteading

I enjoyed this book and the many topics covered on being more self sufficient. There are several things I look forward to trying like making soap, and taking a walk through a park to see if my kids and I can forage any wild foods. We all could take a few tips from this book to work towards becoming less dependent on the big box stores.

Awesome!

After finishing this book, I felt inspired. It's really easy to understand. I never thought making my own bread could be so simple. And soap! That was a surprise. Growing food on my small balcony now seems possible. The book made me see my city differently, like a place full of wild, free food. I liked how it didn't need much money to start. It made me want to try everything right away. I feel like I can actually do this, step by step.

Self-Sufficiency in the City: Embracing It

While ''A Starting Point for Urban Homesteading'' provides a great introduction to self-sufficiency methods in urban environments, some readers would have benefited from further in-depth discussions of particular subjects or more resources for future learning. However, the book's useful advice, approachable tone, and emphasis on sustainability make it a helpful resource for people trying to incorporate self-sufficiency into their urban routines.
