An excellent, obscure book, written with wit and flair. I found much to learn in this book, and was highly entertained along the way by the author's often hilarious stories of life on her farm with her husband, kids, and livestock. ( )

Full of useful information (I bought it for the stuff on growing and preserving vegetables). A bit too much God in it for my taste, but that's the way many Americans see the world, so I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised. ( )

From cactus to basic farm animals, don't move to the country without this resource! Back in our 'back to the land' youth, we lived out of this thing! ( )

This big fat book has homesteading and farming information. Useful information to be found even for those not operating a small farm.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0912365951, Paperback)

For twenty years people have relied on these hundreds of recipes, instructions, and morsels of invaluable practical advice on all aspects of growing and preparing food. This definitive classic on food, gardening, and self-sufficient living is a complete resource for living off the land with over 800 pages of collected wisdom from country maven, Carla Emery--how to cultivate a garden, buy land, bake bread, raise farm animals, make sausage, milk a goat, grow herbs, churn butter, catch a pig, make soap, work with bees and more. Encyclopedia of Country Living is so basic, so thorough, so reliable, it deserves a place in every home--whether in the country, the city, or somewhere in between.
