Encyclopedia of Country Living 10TH Edition

Encyclopedia of Country Living 10TH Edition Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

No home, whether in the country, the city, or somewhere in between, should be without this one-of-a-kind encyclopedia — the most complete source of information available about growing, processing, cooking, and preserving homegrown foods from the garden, orchard, field, or barnyard. For more than 30 years, people have relied on its practical, step-by-step advice on basic self-sufficiency skills such as how to cultivate a garden, buy land, bake bread, raise farm animals, make sausage, milk a goat, grow herbs, churn butter, build a chicken coop, cook on a wood stove, and much, much more. First written at the height of the 1960s back-to-the-land movement, the book has been continually revised, updated, and expanded, and has grown from a self-published, mimeographed document to an exhaustive reference of more than one million words, 2,000+ recipes, and over 1,500 mail order sources. Emery’s personal advice, reflections, and anecdotes ensure that this incredibly detailed, diverse reference is as enjoyable as it is useful.

Synopsis:

The most complete source of information available about growing, processing, cooking, and preserving homegrown foods from the garden or field, this revised and updated edition of the classic text is an indispensable resource on country living. Illustrated.

This is an excellent reference for those who wish to live a more remote subsistance type lifestyle. Unlike most books of this kind this book is packed with real relevant information.

I have kept Carla's self-published 1977 edition close to hand for 30 years. It is a great book that has guided me through many wonderful experiments in country living. This year all 3 of my grown children will get a copy of "Carla Emery" for Christmas.
