From her experience running The Elliott Homestead, Shaye provides all the how-to wisdom you need to know about: ·The benefits of a home garden ·The basics of seed starting ·Building your own greenhouse ·What belongs in the winter garden ·Canning, freezing, and dehydrating techniques and recipes ·The pros and cons of caged vs. free-range chickens ·Keeping a dairy cow and what to do with all the milk ·Raising animals for meat ·Making your own cider and wine ·And so much more! Welcome to the Farm is aimed to serve homesteaders and urban-farmers alike, guiding them through the beginning stages of small-area farming and utilizing whatever amount of space they have available for optimal and delicious food production.
