bgg616's review against another edition
3.0
I learned about this book through a farmer in Vermont who hosted the authors who are from Australia. This is a large format book with beautiful photographs. It argues passionately for living lives with low consumption, and environmental awareness. Australia has suffered terribly from climate change. The writer's husband fought the bush fires several years ago. The family farm could have been one of the catastrophe's of that summer, but they survived.
The book contains more than advice and descriptions of her farm, but recipes, and instructions of how to construct various things that they have found indispensable on the farm. There is a recipe for apple cider vinegar. Apple cider donuts are mentioned but no recipe so I will have to find one to myself.

A pleasingly accessible book with plenty of practical ideas to inspire and uplift. Love the living simply and joyously philosophy and will incorporate many of the ideas into my suburban patch.
