Achieving genuine self-sufficiency of the kind described in John Seymour’s classic guide is sadly beyond the vast reach of the urban majority today. Few have the space, and for those few there are comprehensive guidebooks. But where do the rest of us look for the answers to questions like how much effort does it really take to grow your own food?

If you want to go back to the land without leaving home, this is the perfect guide.]]>
