I recently read this book and thought it was really good. It is about a chick who starts a small homestead in her rented backyard. Complete with garden, chickens, rabbits, etc. She gives a ton of great tips on cooking, gardening, making your own clothes, and even playing the fiddle. I got great receipts out of the book, including the worlds greatest bread, which I will share later. Her website is http://coldantlerfarm.blogspot.com/.I am fascinated lately with reading a ton of books about creating a totally self sufficient lifestyle of homesteading. The whole idea of living off the land, totally independent of big chain stores, factory farms, and the pre-packaged consumer lifestyle. Imagine how society would change if every home decided to become production-based as opposed to consumption-based...the technology of today combined with the work ethic of the past.
