The Half-Acre Homestead
46 Years of Building and Gardening
Lloyd Kahn
This inspiring book follows Lloyd Kahn and his wife Lesley as they build their own home and establish a garden on a half-acre of land on the Northern California Coast over a 46-year period. With over 500 photos, they cover everything from raising chickens, bees, and goats to cooking, foraging, fishing, crafts, birds, butterflies, and tools. Their main theme is that everything was done by hand, without paying rent or having a mortgage. Perfect for anyone interested in homesteading or sustainable living, this book includes clear explanations of building skylights, maintaining a septic system, building greenhouses, and more.

@longnow @nytimes The most highly evolved of all homesteads is Lloyd Kahn’s, and now he has published a wonderful book spelling out exactly how it was made over its 46 years, and how it works.
The beautifully illustrated book itself was entirely crafted on the homestead. – source
