Description
Book SynopsisJoin the permaculture revolution! Author Angela Ferraro-Fanning (Axe & Root Homestead) shares techniques and tips for a homestead with synergy between soil, plants, animals, and trees. If you’re like most homesteaders, the dream is to
make the most of your land by working with it, not against it. From
capturing water and building strong soil to helping your animals live their best lives,
The Sustainable Homestead is about making your homestead stronger by
achieving synergy between what can seem like different parts.
In this book, new and veteran homesteaders alike can find
detailed information to put to use this year, this month, even this week! Angela—also the co-host of the
HOMESTEADucation podcast and author of the Little Homesteader/Little Country Cottage series of children’s books—has spent more than a decade building and strengthening her small acreage homestead and shares the lessons
