With skyrocketing food prices, lower product availability, and an increasing amount of food-born illnesses associated with mass produced foods, wouldn’t it be great to produce your own safe, wholesome foods for your family? Would you like to offset rising fuel prices by safely and securely burning wood to heat your home and cook your meals? “Today’s Homestead” will teach you how! Within these volumes you’ll learn how to raise your own beef, extract your own honey, and manage your own orchard. If you’ve ever wanted to know how to braid your own rugs, or make your own yeast, how to pick a healthy calf at the sale barn, or incubate your own turkey eggs, it’s all included in these books. Whether you have one acre or one hundred acres, “Today’s Homestead” can help you be more self-sufficient. Volume 1 of “Today’s Homestead” has all the basics, from home food preservation to proper food storage, as well as basic cheese making, soap making, and candle making, including how to make a cheese press, or candle dipping frame.
“Today’s Homestead” is the complete guide to homesteading for a more secure future in these increasingly insecure times.
About the Author:
Dona was born into the homesteading lifestyle in Alaska where her parents homesteaded in the truest sense of the word. Dona now lives with her husband Karl on their own Homestead, The Queen’s Blessing Farm, where they enjoy the fruits of their own orchard, vegetable garden, herb garden, and berry patches.
They provide their own dairy from the family cow, eggs for home and sale, as well as poultry and other meats from the barnyard and pasture. Dona makes their breads, candles, rugs, quilts, and blankets. They heat with a woodstove, and Dona cooks on a woodstove. Their apiary provides sweetening, bee pollen, and beeswax for their use and sale. Karl and Dona have worked for many years as homesteading consultants to those who are interested in learning how to live the dream.
