  • wow, wow, wow!

    It's been said this book was the one "must get" book on small farming/back to the land...well, I'm only in the first few chapters and I can tell you it's true. Having previously pioneered a piece of land in Alaska with my wife and son, I can tell you the author is absolutely "spot on". Now as we are moving into our own food production seriously and eventually mini-farming (here in the "lower 48") I am seeking expert help for all the areas we don't know about. I can say that many of the things we found to be true from our own experience he is already mentioning, you may find as I did that much of your logic is accurate, as I have with the chapter on windbreaks, he also tells you what you need to know but may be ignoring or unaware of! Absolutely Excellent!

  • Perfect title. Exact.
