Recently, a reader asked me to suggest a list of books I would recommend as homesteading resources. This request took me a bit aback, as I’ve been slowly presenting a series of posts about our home reference library on the other blog I used to contribute to, Self Reliance Works. I forget that just because I split my time between this blog and that one, that doesn’t mean that my readers do as well. I tend to focus my “homestead how to” type articles over there, and use this blog for reporting and reflection on homestead living. Perhaps I should bring some of that focus here, where my readers are?
With that in mind, I will be blogging in the future on the contents of our “homestead reference library,” focusing on specific titles that we’ve found useful, and explaining why.
The topic deserves careful consideration, and perhaps a bit of back story.
