Meet the seasonal challenges of nature.
The author also discusses topics that other homesteading guides don’t mention — how to afford the homestead lifestyle as well as the effect that moving to the country can have on one’s emotional well-being.

A successful homestead begins with the decisions no one tells you to make. Most people make the wrong decisions when they first start and end up paying double, not only in cost, but also in blood, sweat, and tears. Stacy helps you see these stumbling blocks coming before you trip over them. Whether you need to learn about checking zoning laws before you begin, how large of a garden you should start with, or which chicks and livestock would best suit your needs, this book is a great place to start. I am thrilled to include this in my home library.
