Ron and Johanna are what many call modern-day pioneers. Since the late 1970s, they’ve been surviving and thriving off-grid.
In their new book, The Self-Sufficient Backyard: For the Independent Homesteader, they reveal the practical homesteading knowledge they’ve gained over 40+ years for the first time.
Inside, you’ll discover the skills and projects they used to grow their own food, save and make money while becoming independent on their own property.
Here’s a glimpse of what this complete guide to self-sufficiency has to offer:
43 Years of Real Homesteading Experience: the hard-earned lessons and shortcuts that can save you years of trial and error.DIY Home Improvement Projects: step-by-step projects with pictures and instructions that help you build an independent lifestyle, even if you’re starting from scratch.How to Set Up Your Homestead: simple ways to organize your land so you can grow more food, waste less space, and make your property work for you.Backyard Gardening for Beginners: raised beds, container gardening, crop rotation, season extenders, and other easy methods to grow fresh food year-round.How to Live Off the Grid: learn about wells, rainwater collection, water filters, solar power systems, wind energy, and other ways to keep your home running when prices go up, or the grid goes down.Raising Chickens and Beekeeping: how to build coops and care for your flock; how to build a hive and harvest honey.How to Can and Preserve Food: canning, dehydrating, freezing, smoking, and many more traditional methods.Preparedness & Self-Reliance Skills: practical ways to store food, save money, be prepared for an emergency, and become less dependent on stores and supply chains.
And the best part is… you don’t need a huge farm or hundreds of acres to do this.
