In Holistic Homesteading, Roxanne Ahern lays out the why and the how of living a more grounded and meaningful existence through the simple, beautiful, everyday acts of home production. It was once commonplace for our ancestors to mark the days and the seasons through the production happening in the home: the flush of the summer garden, the work of storage in autumn, the renewal and abundance of spring, the simple dance between human culture and animal husbandry and the delicate care of the plant world. Holistic Homesteading invites us back in to participate in this most essential and meaningful of human tasks: the work and joy of making a living from the land and reveling in its abundance.
Dr. Ashley Colby, environmental sociologist, director of Rizoma Field School, and author of Subsistence Agriculture in the US: Reconnecting to Work, Nature and Community
