"A treasure-trove of brilliant ideas and easy-to-follow
step-by-step instructions" - Adam Henson, BBC One's Countryfile In
our current era of pandemic and environmental crisis,
self-sufficiency is a means of taking control of our lives and
safeguarding for the future - and this new, fully updated edition
of the sustainability classic will help every householder do just
that. You'll find all the practical information and expert guidance
you need on every aspect of self-sufficiency, from gardening and
baking through health, beauty and cleaning to foraging and
livestock, whatever your needs, circumstances and resources. This
means that the gardening chapter, for example, is appropriate both
for people with an urban back yard or a more substantial plot of
land. Written in a down-to-earth, engaging and often amusing style,
and charmingly illustrated with line drawings, the book will appeal
to anyone who wants to be more creative, resourceful and
independent, who wants to rediscover their inner hunter-gatherer,
to single people as much as to large families, and to parents
looking to equip their children with basic life skills.

'An amazing story of love, laughter and the challenges of living
from the land ... Simon's self-sufficient rural life is an
inspiration to us all' - Ben Fogle Following a drunken
misunderstanding Simon Dawson gave up his job in the city, moved to
the wilds of Exmoor and became an accidental self-sufficient
smallholder with an array of animals. But that was years ago now.
Following up on his first book, PIGS IN CLOVER, this is the story
of what happens when he suddenly realises that his life is changing
all over again. He's not quite the spring chicken that he used to
be: he is, horror of horrors, getting older. With a cast of best
friends (some more helpful than others) including Ziggy, a panicked
soon-to-be father desperate to grow up, Garth, an annoying
teenager, and a rather handsome pig called The General, a plan is
hatched to help each other mature (or immature). Heartfelt
discoveries and hilarious endeavours ensue as they work through
their age-related angsts, all with a fair dose of pigs, chickens,
lambs and animal madness along the way. This is Exmoor's uplifting
laugh-out-loud antidote to middle age in the mud; a place where you
truly realise that the sty's the limit!
This is the true story of a Londoner who gives up his job as an
estate agent in the city, moves to the wilds of Exmoor, starts a
smallholding and becomes self-sufficient, with a few bumps along
the way. Simon's journey from urbanite to self-sufficient
smallholder is brimming with incidents - some funny and some tragic
- leading him to question Mother Nature, himself, the food he eats,
and his role in it all. Which makes the transition from city life
to self-sufficient smallholder slow, emotional and, for him, often
confusing, but it is also beautiful, warming and laugh-out-loud
funny. So if you would like to spend time with an accidental
smallholder who completely changed one drunken night in Devon, then
join Simon, his wife and their extended family as they learn the
truth of what it takes to live a self-sufficient life, before
eventually becoming as happy as the proverbial pigs in clover.
