Publisher's Synopsis
A couple of days ago, my ten-month-old son took a bite of a fresh vegetable from my garden. At first, he made that shocked face that babies make when they are trying something new. Then, with his four little teeth, he took a bigger bite followed by an "Mmmm" while taking more bites and dancing in his high chair. He was excited, and his excitement felt electrifying to my wife and me. I was reminded that providing healthy and delicious food for my family was one of the main reasons that I started homesteading.
I spent so many hours with a bruised ego and damaged pride after making many mistakes on my first homestead, but now the confidence that I have as a result of getting it right is unparalleled. I hope to show you all the ways that homesteading can work for you. Not only will this guide be a helpful resource in your journey, but it will also serve as a time saver.
