pickThe title of lunatic farmer is one Mr. Salatin wears proudly. This book lays out his philosophy of farming. In hip language, he is old-school. His ways, though modernized, hearken to the days before modern fees lots and industrial farms. It's following nature's patterns. I enjoyed this book immensely. The only nit-pick is that it could use some pro editing. That is easily ignored. Excellent and fun read.
Been on my radar a while. I think sometimes I might be a lunatic for doing what I do on my little urban homestead.
pickI cannot say enough good about this book. So charming, so fun, so narrative, so warm, inviting and yet it challenges you as well. I look forward to coming back to this one!

I missed that we were doing #FridayNightShare again! For yesterday‘s #SpringNonFiction prompt, I‘m choosing the book. I think of spring as a time to clean & freshen up. I have had this book on my shelves for ages & still use many of her green cleaning tips & recipes including her Lavender-Lemon Disinfecting Spirits Spray & her essential oil combo list. 💚🌱🪻🍋💛
planting plans? when do you start planning? What are you planning?
So far my plans are “sort of” simple. I‘m going to try and grow lavender from seed using my greenhouse- so i can plant it around the fenced in part of my yard. My other plans are zinnias and Sunflowers and wildflowers. My last plan is adding 2 plum trees and an apple tree- and using farmers markets for all my fresh food needs. #natuaralitsy #litsolace #springequinox
This book covers a year of eating locally grown or sourced food, but I think a lot of people thought like me, Ok, but what happens in winter?!
Read if you‘re curious!

This nonfiction book from Barbara Kingsolver will open your eyes to the impact of what you choose to eat. The Kingsolver family moves from Arizona to live on a family farm in Appalachia, and decide to live for a year on locally grown and produced food (with the exception of coffee and chocolate). Daughter Camille,a biology student at Duke, adds sidebars and recipes. Even husband Stephen Hopp adds an occasional sidebar. #bookbinge #includesrecipes
