Two-Lane Livin' Magazine featured more than 35 columnists over a decade, and Lisa's column, "Two-Lane for Life," appeared in all 123 issues. During her tenure as editor, publisher, and columnist for Two-Lane Livin', she tried to learn about homesteading and farming from other columnists and her own research; apply the principles of sustainable, simple living to her own life; and share those experiences with her readers. Several columnists from the magazine have compiled their work into books, and we hope you will enjoy their collections as well as this assembly of some of Lisa's personal favorites from her own column in the magazine.
