Here are a few of the books I have found to be of interest to people looking at self sufficiency
Basics
| This is the book that got me started. A major resource. Info on animals, gardening, setting up your self sufficient palce. A must have for anyone contemplating self sufficiency. John also has the following books |
Cooking and Keeping
| Not really a self sufficient cookbook, but packed with a lot of good recipies. Tammy uses this one a lot. |
| A very good book. Discusses all the garden veggies and fruits. How and when to plant, and how to store. Very good recipies as well. If you live near a good Amish store look for it there. If you do order it from Amazon, it's worth every penny. |
| A great book about storing your stuff. I hope to use the info from this book to turn a room in the basement into a root cellar. |
