The Encyclopedia of Country Living: An Old Fashioned Recipe Book
by Carla Emery
A classic book updated many times since its original publication. The Encyclopedia of Country Living is a long (800+ pages), complex, and sometimes disorganized book filled with practical tips on everything from gardening, livestock management, and farm life, to tips on how to make your own Jello and mend a fence. For those currently living close to the land, or those just dreaming about your own homestead someday, the Encyclopedia of Country living is a fascinating, autobiographical “love letter” to country living. Highly recommended for both recreational reading and reference.
