Ferraro-Fanning (Little Homesteader: A Spring Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom), wanting a deeper connection to nature after the birth of her first child, left her successful full-time graphic design business to research, cultivate, and maintain a homestead. This book provides the lessons the self-taught farmer gained from experience and from in-depth study. Supplemented with easy-to-navigate charts and helpful infographics for visual thinkers, this book offers accessible ideas and facts for both novice and seasoned homesteaders. Included are chapters on companion planting, selecting and caring for livestock, using compost to improve soil health, and planning a sustainable orchard.
VERDICT An excellent resource for individuals and communities interested in homesteading, permaculture, and sustainability.
