I enjoyed Homestead Essentials as an excellent review. This book was very timely, as I am currently looking for a place where I can expand my efforts from suburban backyard container gardening into a more robust homestead. the authors touch on just about every aspect, and I picked up a number of tips on things I had not yet thought about. I especially enjoyed the recipes they included in the food preservation chapter! I recommend this book to anyone interested in building a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

Great intro for beginners & refresher for homesteaders

After listening to this audio book explaining EVERYTHING you'll need to know to be a Homesteader, I've decided that I'm more of a city dweller than I thought! It's enticing to be self-sufficient including rain water, solar panels, and miniature cows! If you want to do this, the book covers all of it. Happy homesteading!

Who wants to be a Homesteader? It's not for me!
