- Item #: 664
Produce all the food you need on just a quarter acre!
Put your backyard to work! From a quarter of an acre, you can harvest 1,400 eggs, 50 pounds of wheat, 60 pounds of fruit, 2,000 pounds of vegetables, 280 pounds of pork, or 75 pounds of nuts. Enjoy fresher, organic, better-tasting food all the time. Eat from the garden year-round with fresh veggies and homemade preserves, make omelets from eggs laid by your own chickens, or pick fruits and berries from your back door -- the solution is as close as your own backyard.
Grow the vegetables and fruits your family loves; keep bees; raise chickens, goats, or even a cow. Learn how to milk a goat, prune a fruit tree, dry herbs, make dandelion wine, bake whole-grain bread, tap a maple tree, make fresh mozzarella, brew beer, mill grains for flour, save seeds for next season, and a whole lot more -- The Backyard Homestead shows you how it's done. And when the harvest is in, you'll learn how to cook, preserve, cure, brew, or pickle the fruits of your labor.
