BOOKS & GADGETS
While we love the internet, there's nothing like a book. Books don't mind being out in the garden with you, in the barn, in the raspberry field. They sit patiently on the table or shelf waiting for you, not ever demanding to be charged, picked up and answered, fixed. The story a book can tell, a recipe, step by step instructions can all be revisited, at any time. No history search needed.

When we moved to the farm I had 3 rooms to work with, no closets or wall space really. I also had some 25 boxes of books to deal with. I like books.

The books listed here are books I can recommend to someone interested in homesteading, hunting mushrooms, foraging, wanting to try international cooking or cooking with farm fresh ingredients. We also showcase a variety of gadgets and farm tools we've recommended at markets for years when people ask "what do you use for...?".

Purchases made by using these links doesn't cost you any extra but allows us to collect a small advertising percentage of the sale from Amazon.
