Homesteading in the 21st Century: How One Family Created a More Sustainable, Self-Sufficient, and Satisfying Life

by George Nash Author and Jane Waterman Author

Ever since Thoreau set up shop in the woods by Walden Pond, the idea of being self-sufficient has been on our cultural minds. When times are tough economically, consider a different option on the table, an option for anyone who daydreams about a better life. Homesteading in the 21st Century swears by the idea that anyone can homestead and grow at least some of their own grub, even if they're still within city limits.
