Time-honored practices for a more self-reliant and satisfying
lifestyle. Ever have the urge to raise your own chickens, grind
your own flour, or start your own compost pile? If any of these
ideas sound appealing, this is the book for you. A growing number
of people are intrigued by the "homesteader" experience and the
idea of doing things themselves, whether they own a big spread in
the wilderness or live on a small plot of land in the suburbs.
Traditional Crafts and Skills from the Country presents the
practical information necessary to become more self-reliant at
home, pick up a new hobby, or even learn a skill that may provide a
secondary income. The authors' crafts and skills include:
beekeeping; raising sheep and goats; starting seeds; composting;
felling trees; building split-rail fences; making soap and candles;
drying and preserving foods; laying stone; making butter and
cheese; reading the weather; and much more. From raising livestock
to woodcrafting, from the garden to the kitchen, Monte and Joan
Burch have a fresh and easy-to-follow approach to country wisdom
that is sure to win over even the most die-hard city dweller.
