Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible guide for the aspiring modern homesteader from the craftsmen at Living the Country Life magazine! Grow your own crops, raise backyard animals, and preserve your bounty for the winter months and beyond. Once upon a time, people had a real connection with the land. Instead of being mere consumers, they were producers and makers. Traditional skills were learned to eliminate a reliance on others, enabling the self-sufficiency that’s at the heart of the Do-It-Yourself movement. And this artisanal wisdom was passed on to family and friends. The editors at Living the Country Life magazine have collected this essential expertise into Modern Homesteading, a guide to rediscovering the crucial skills to truly go from farm to table. Whether you live in the country or just want to reconnect with nature in your own backyard, Modern Homesteading provides guidance to: * Build a chicken coop, raise and care for chicks, and produce farm-fresh eggs for the breakfast table * Grow your own fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs for a healthy and delicious bounty * Preserve and can your favorite fruits and vegetables to enjoy their flavors throughout the year * Customize your garden for a harmonious mix of plants that yield what you need, when you need it Whether you’re raising urban chickens behind your Brooklyn brownstone or feeding your family from a front-yard organic veggie plot, this book can bring a little self-sufficiency into any life.

From the more familiar butler and book binder to reed harvester, coppicer, duck breeder and Lord's dinner lady, it seeks to capture the atmosphere of Britain away from the fast pace of urban life. The Lord's dinner lady, for example, has worked at the MCC since 1961, and has received an honorary MBE for her services to cricket and cricketers. She admits to keeping the men in line because she likes the discipline, and has fed her appreciative guests with roast dinners and carbohydrate-rich teas for three decades. Other crafts have been laboriously learned and are painstakingly practised, and some of these cases record the last few practitioners of certain crafts. It includes a comprehensive index of addresses and phone numbers of the treasures and relevant craft organizations.
