The Backyard Homestead: Produce All the Food You Need on Just a Quarter Acre! by Carleen Madigan
3.0
A Beginner's Reference Book
This book provides a good starting point for someone interested in homesteading. It is full of a wide variety of information.
However, I was a bit disappointed. The author is not a homesteader. The majority of the book is just straight information. There is no personal touch or stories. The book fails to take into account that things go wrong on a homestead. Under ideal circumstances, someone might be able to meet the claims listed on the back cover. However, life is not ideal. I feel like this book missed that completely.
