SynopsisThis classic guide to homesteading is based on solid, practical techniques that remain useful to everyone who wants to learn country skills and increase their self-sufficiency. By turns philosophical and instructional, Ed and Carolyn Robinson share their pioneering approach to efficiently growing vegetables, raising livestock, and building farm structures. Since it was first published in 1943, The "Have-More" Plan has inspired generations of homesteaders to make the most out of whatever land they have available.
I have owned several copies while raising my children and grandchildren. Always end up Blessing someone I know with a copy. Great reading and advice from front to back. God Bless America!
