The New Homesteader provides all the knowledge necessary for anyone
thinking of embracing a self-sustaining lifestyle and starting
their own homestead or urban farm - or even just tending their own
plot to provide fresh ingredients throughout the year. Starting
with the Kitchen Garden, Nick and Bella Ivins discuss designing and
planning a plot then move on to choosing and planting fruit and
vegetable crops. Next, in The Orchard, they explain how to plant
and tend an orchard as well as soft fruit. Animals covers the topic
of livestock, including bees, chickens and other small poultry and
rearing lambs and pigs. The Garden shows how to make any additional
outside space productive by planting a wildflower meadow, a small
woodland and even a nuttery. Following on, The Outbuildings takes a
closer look at the places at the heart of a successful homestead -
the barn, the woodyard, the workshop and the store, where summer
produce is stored to keep the homestead going during the lean
winter months. Finally, in The Farmhouse, Nick and Bella move on to
the hub of the homestead, the backdrop for day-to-day farm life.
The farmhouse kitchen is the place where produce is preserved,
bread is baked and dairy products are produced. Other sections
address homestead housekeeping with natural cleaning products.
Whether you dream of starting a homestead in the city, the country
or the suburbs to become fully or only partially self sufficient,
The New Homesteader puts that dream within reach.
