About this deal

Mead is similar, but it’s a honey wine that uses honey to feed the yeast. Honey gives the drink incredible body, and unbelievable flavor. I’d take homemade mead over wine any day. They’re a good way to find new plants, and with recipes, they really inspire you to get out there and find the wild foods. Believe it or not, charcuterie is another form of lacto-fermentation and with a little dedication you can craft your own prosciutto, pancetta and salami at home. It’s all in good fun to learn how to do even one DIY project, and this book can fittingly be called a “springboard book” as it introduces you to self-sufficiency without taking many hits to your wallet.

In 1964 the family moved to a farm near Newport, Pembrokeshire. The 1970s saw Seymour's publication rate reach its peak. In 1973 John and Sally wrote Self-Sufficiency and in 1976 The Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency was published. Appearing shortly after the publication of E.F. Schumacher's Small Is Beautiful: A Study of Economics As If People Mattered (1973) and The Good Life's first showing on British television (1975), the sales of the book exceeded all expectations. It was also set to establish the reputation of two young publishers, Christopher Dorling and Peter Kindersley who had commissioned and edited the work. In addition to self-sufficiency he wrote four guide books in the Companion Guide series. In this work, he shared tons of great ideas for a home garden, home economics, and inspiration from people who are truly living simple and good lives. He offers views on how we can make a better world. Mostly though, this is a very accessible account of how to be a homesteader and love and care for your land.

Even though the basic storylines start roughly the same – e.g. get fed up, try something new – each person’s experiences from that point forward are totally different. To me, the completely unique ways we all approach the same basic idea of self-sufficiency are fascinating. The HAM Radio License Manual ~ A study guide with questions that’s specifically designed to help you study for the HAM radio test. It doesn’t do the best job of explaining what’s going on, see the book series above for that, but it does go through all the possible questions to help you learn the right answers (like an SAT study guide). I know, that’s not very many…and I’ve found precious few alternative energy books worth reading. If you have any suggestions, please by all means, leave them in the comments.

First Edition. By subscription only, arriving in 4 consecutive shipments, mimeographed on Fibertint; 875 copies finished about March 1, 1974. Artisanal Small-Batch Brewing: Easy Homemade Wines, Beers, Meads and Cidersby Amber Shehan ~ A great general purpose guide that will get you brewing right away with minimal equipment and ingredients that are already waiting in your pantry. She focuses on natural winemaking, without winemaking additives, so the recipes are simple and cost effective. I made a truly spectacular lemon balm mead using her recipe. Be aware that dehydrating is a bit different than freeze drying food, which requires a different freeze drying appliance. Sadly, there aren’t any good books on freeze drying, but the machines come with good home manuals. We’ve been making homemade beer for more than a decade, and have literally hundreds of batches under our belts. Still, there are a few homebrewing books that we refer to again and again. I’m going to give you a peek into my homestead library, and take you through all my favorite books and resources, broken down by topic.Fiftieth Anniversary Edition. Coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of the book’s beginning, all resource information has been brought up to date.
