Backyard Farm
This part recaptures the lost arts of homesteading. It's the perfect part to flip through hither and
yon on an as-needed basis, or read straight through to pique your interest in what is possible. You'll
be tempted to join the renaissance of those reviving the do-it-yourself concept and relish in the
satisfaction of a job self-done.
Learn how to use the milk from your own dairy herd in soap making, cheese making, and other
useful ways with the shared recipes and techniques. Brew homemade hard ciders or wine from your
homegrown fruits. Dye the fibers you've spun from your sheep, rabbits, or goats.
These are the skills you grew up hearing your grandparents talk about doing. And more and more
backyard farmers are finding pleasure, and profit, in revisiting these skills for themselves. After
browsing these chapters you just might find the same.
