The author begins with a little history of the Homestead Act then continues on with an overview of how to design and operate your own homestead. She offers suggestions on energy efficiency, gardening and animal husbandry for the backyard farmer and, while she recommends building a well, I would have liked more information on preservation and recycling of water. Overall, however, a very good book.
