By raising and harvesting their own fruits, vegetables, chickens, bees, milk-bearing animals, and more, people are growing locally, sustainably, and at a fraction of the cost. However, poor planning for needs, proper use of available space, and a lack of preparedness for preserving or selling the harvest can quickly lead to wasted time and sweat.

Of all the times to be living off the land, I think that today is the most exciting. Savvy farmers who came before us and the modern homesteaders of today have paved the way for todays backyard farmers who have even the most modest amounts of land. Families that are drawn to farming, looking for better nutrition and excellent flavors, find that its no longer necessary to have acres of land to reach their goals.
Were incorporating small-space techniques such as vertical gardening to grow our vegetableswhich allows us to grow in the narrowest places. Experimenting horticulturists have brought us petite-sized fruit trees compared to its full-sized cousins, which offer a delicious bounty in a miniature landscape. Theres been a renewed interest in keeping livestock such as dairy goats, chickens, and rabbits.
The backyard farmers of today enjoy all the good parts of growing, raising, and harvesting their own foodalong with other necessitieswithout the fear of a potentially dangerous new land, or the physical hardship that farmers of the past endured. In general, were more independent due to advanced modern technologies.
Its a powerful thing to realize that we can actually provide the basic necessities for ourselves and our families. Yet rising food prices, control of the chemicals that we consume, plus farm-fresh goodies are only a part of the picture. Self-reliance and handicrafts feed our souls. I believe this sense of empowerment spills over into the rest of the areas of our lives and gives us hope and happiness. Of course, at the very core of it all is the pure joy of being able to offer these things to our family and friendsits perhaps the sincerest act of love.
Americans are waking up, becoming wiser, healthier, and taking a more hands-on approach to self-reliance. Many are pleasantly surprised to notice that in their search for a more self-reliant lifestyle, they are more like their farming ancestors than they may have thought.
With her commonsense strategies and step-by-step guidance, Angela England brings you a book that will inspire you to plant, raise, build, harvest, make, and preserve home-grown bounty from your own backyardall in an acre, more or less.

Daddy, what is it? she exclaimed, squinting in curiosity and horror at the prickly vine that had swallowed up her play area in the backyard. End-of-school madness had given way to Junes warm California sun and she was free to play for the summer, but the intruder had sprouted up seemingly overnight. I dont know, honey, it looks like some kind of vine. We should let it grow and see what it turns into.
