Almost all homesteaders grow a garden, raise at least some livestock and poultry, and enjoy putting up lots of food in their pantries. But many of us neglect planting fruit and nut trees. I guess it’s because we know it will be several years before we get our first crop, so we put it off.By taking the time to plant those trees and bushes (and ensuring that they get good care), we are making sure we will have a huge bounty of pesticide-free, nutritious, and tasty fruit before we know it. The years really do fly by, especially on a new homestead with so much to get done! This book will help guide you in planning and planting your orchard, no matter where you live. There are recipes and preservation tips at the end of each chapter.
