A celebration of simple living skills. Not too long ago, handwork skills such as sewing a quilt, crocheting a washcloth, or embroidering a pillowcase were handed down from one generation to the next. Candle- and soap-making, blacksmithing, basket weaving, natural yarn dying, and repurposing were all time-honored traditions that were essential to the farm’s microeconomy and long-term success.

The FarmMade Essential Skills Book showcases fifty authentic projects from farms all over the country.

Revive valuable lost traditions and pave the way for a more independent, sustainable future with The FarmMade Essential Skills Book.
