Perfect for Beginners Like Me!

I’ve always dreamed of growing my own food and living more sustainably, but I had no idea where to start. This book made it all feel doable! It walks you through everything step by step, whether you have a huge backyard or just a small patio. I started with the organic gardening section, and within weeks, I had fresh herbs and veggies growing—something I never thought I could pull off. The sections on raising animals and off-grid projects were also very helpful. What I love most is that it focuses on practical, budget-friendly ways to get started without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re even slightly curious about self-sufficient living, this is a must-read!

fantastic start to living independently

The book is surprisingly realistic, providing clear guidance on everything from practical, low-cost off-grid projects to organic gardening and raising poultry. Because of its abundance of cost-cutting advice, you won't feel the need to shell out a bunch to get started. What's the best part? Each chapter offers a very understandable perspective on homesteading and is presented in a way that makes it seem absolutely achievable, even if you're brand-new to the practice. It's encouraging to see practical suggestions for creating a sustainable lifestyle without a lot of land. The principles are simple yet effective, and the direction is clear for beginners like myself who want to slow down and live more mindfully.

Live life your own way!

I have been interested in self-sustained life for a while now. It's truly an incredible way to live if you have the means to do so. We have a decent sized garden to at least make a start until we move into a bigger place. What I loved about Scott's book is that the first chapter is dedicated to aspects of planning your homesteading. Budgeting and evaluating your space has to be done first in order to take the next steps. Scott goes on to explain in detail about raising livestock, off grid solutions and advanced techniques which tells you everything you need to know in order to start homesteading. It's well structured and loaded with knowledge! A must have for anyone looking to start their journey!
