The Backyard Homestead: Produce All the Food You Need on Just a Quarter Acre! by Carleen Madigan

3.0

This is a great book for a beginning gardener or for someone who wants a quick over-view on raising animals. It wasn't quite detailed enough in the life-stock arena for my use. However, the author provides excellent references for a more in depth look. Further more, in my opinion the illustrations were merely adequate. Additional pictures could have put this book on a whole new level. I did, though, fall in love with the cheese making section and am now mentally toying with the idea of buying a milk cow. Sigh.
