Publisher's summary

If you are looking for a way to produce your own food, then pay attention....

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?

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.

In part one, you'll discover:

  • How to plan for a homestead that accommodates the size of your yard
  • Seven of the best resources for new homesteaders or home farmers
  • How to select your chickens and build a coop
  • How to plan your garden throughout the year for a high yield
  • Top 10 perennial vegetables to grow year-round
  • How to make the most of your seeds and cultivars
  • Mistakes to avoid that can lead to low-yield or no-yield seasons
  • Cool tricks for growing your homestead without buying more property

Part two of this audiobook will take you through:

  • How to feed and take care of chicks and pullets
  • How to feed and take care of layers
  • How to feed and take care of broilers
  • Plus, all the details you need to know when it comes to best practices in feeding

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.

I loved this book

It gives the opportunity to find problems and corners in the book to dig deeper into later such as food security, seed saving, chickens, goats, etc for profit. All of which I can add more books to the library on. I'd snag this one up.

Spot On That’s it’s Scary

It works over obstacles you may run into and just provides a nice overview of what various things entail. Also has some recipes in the back that I look ahead to trying. Being its fall already, I am not putting any of these in action right now, but I may consider it over and plan some to try next year. This book highlights that planning is crucial to success.

Too Adorable!

Good writing style, to me. Simple to understand. Would be easy to follow for beginners. Pretty much tells you how to achieve a homestead from point A to point Z, from setting up, to daily chores, and how to keep it working.
