Note: This edition contains all FOUR levels of homesteading.

Do you lie awake at night, wondering how to make your family more self-sufficient in an uncertain world? Are you fearful and wondering how you are going to make it through to your homesteading dreams with your current finances? Are you wanting to feel more prepared for any eventuality so that you no longer experience fear when reading the newspaper? Are you wondering how to expand your homesteading efforts while still maintaining the rest of your life?

Maybe you’ve considered homesteading, but you’re stuck in an apartment, and don’t even know where to begin.

Master Gardener, teacher, and author Tessa Zundel’s book, The Do It Yourself Homestead, will help you go from home to homestead little by little.

The Do It Yourself Homestead covers eight topics, with each one given its own chapter:
The Homestead Kitchen, The Homestead Garden, Greening the Homestead, Livestock Wherever You Are, Homestead Finances, Family Times, The Homestead Community and The Prepared Homestead.

There are four levels of homesteadyness (a totally made up word) in The Do It Yourself Homestead, ensuring that it truly has something for everyone.

Are you a HOMESTARTER, the curious and courageous novice?

Or do you belong at the HOMESTEADISH level, with a bit of experience under your belt?

Perhaps you’re a HOMESTEADAHOLIC, eagerly pursing homesteading wherever you live?

Are you the sage HOMESTEADED type who fully identifies with the homesteading lifestyle?

With each level comes its own education, challenges, goals and projects. Extensive resources are recommended in every section to provide further reading and study for the serious homestead student. Challenges are issued to help you expand outside of your comfort zone and build up your homesteading community – especially the community that is your home and family. Also included are countless quotes and interviews with real life homesteaders, all on varying lot sizes. Each one has a different family make up, a different vision and a different voice but each are inspiring homesteaders. Provided, too, are abundant bonus materials including a DIY Homestead Journal, homeschooling addendum to the book and free downloads. Four hundred pages of quality, DIY homesteading information and encouragement!

The Do It Yourself Homestead shows you how to:
•Not worry that you’re missing out on an important skill because you’ll see that all homesteading goals are connected and you’re taking it one step and at time.
•Gain peace of mind because have clear goals and meaningful projects to engage in on specific homesteading topics.
•Make your own food staples and use up what you already have on hand in healthy ways.
•Feel years younger and pounds lighter by letting go of clutter on your homestead, emotional baggage, and outmoded thought patterns.
•Learn to preserve surplus fruits and vegetables safely and even more efficiently than your great grandmother did, so that you don’t have to go to the grocery store as often.
•Find the livestock that’s right for you, even if you have no land.
•Create homesteading systems that are self-sustaining even if you live in the city.
•Gain a level of preparedness that doesn’t depend on how big your food storage is whether you live in an apartment or on hundreds of acres.
•Get out of debt and live without feeling deprived.
•Teach your kids responsibility by getting them involved.
•And so much more!
