Weekend Homesteader

Weekend Homesteader: MayWeekend Homesteader is full of short projects that you can use to dip your toes into the vast ocean of homesteading without getting overwhelmed.

If you need to fit homesteading into a few hours each weekend and would like to have fun while doing it, these projects will be right up your alley, whether you live on a 40 acre farm, a postage stamp lawn in suburbia, or a high rise.

You'll learn about backyard chicken care, how to choose easy mushroom and berry species, and why and how to plant a no-till garden that heals the soil while providing nutritious food.

Permaculture techniques will turn your homestead into a vibrant ecosystem and attract native pollinators while converting our society's waste into high quality compost and mulch.

Meanwhile, enjoy the fruits of your labor right away as you learn the basics of cooking and eating seasonally, then preserve homegrown produce for later by drying, canning, freezing, or simply filling your kitchen cabinets with storage vegetables.

Weekend Homesteader: MarchAs you become more self-sufficient, you'll save seeds, prepare for power outages, and tear yourself away from a full-time job, while building a supportive and like-minded community.

You won't be completely deleting your reliance on the grocery store, but will be plucking low-hanging (and delicious!) fruits out of your own garden by the time all 48 projects are complete.


The complete book will be in bookstores near you in fall 2012.  Meanwhile, you can enjoy the first edition of most of the projects by downloading 99 cent ebooks from Amazon's kindle store.

Weekend Homesteader: MayIn November, I signed on with Skyhorse Publishing so that Weekend Homesteader could become a full color paperback, available in bookstores throughout the U.S. and Canada in fall 2012.  This week, I finally turned in the manuscript.

Now that Weekend Homesteader has stretched her wings and is ready to fly on her own, I figured she was old enough to have a designated news feed.  Click on the RSS button here if you want to be sure to hear about the print book's progress.  Or
drop me an email and ask me to add you to my low traffic (an email every month or two) email list to stay up to date on book news.

While you're waiting, don't forget to complete your set of Weekend Homesteader, first edition.  Each month is just 99 cents in Amazon's kindle store!
