"I love the way the book is set out, with the growing section and what to do with extra produce and then the animal section and what to do with those products etc. Very nice ideas and well laid out and very easy to understand and read."
"oh my! what a wealth of information. I just planted a fall veggie garden and was so motivated from this book! everything from chickens, to crop rotating, growing your own barley to brew beer (including recipe's) and wine making from oregon grapes. yahoo. sweet book all around for anyone with a small space and ready to dig in the dirt! love it!"
"This book contains some conflicting/incomplete information, but it's a nice introductory primer to the idea of homesteading. I'd recommend The Self-Sufficient Suburban Garden and Food Not Lawns as good accompanying titles."
