COUNTRY WOMEN: A HANDBOOK FOR THE NEW FARMER by Jeanne Tetrault and Sherry Thomas. An inspiring, instructive manual of basic rural skills ... and a guide to discovering your rightful relationship to the land. 383 pages. Large paperback.
I like this book, even the old back-to-the-land hippy-ness of it is fun...good book with a lot of knowledge packed in it. I am building a small farm and homestead library of useful books and this one is just fun to read while being educational as well.
Wishing you joy in small things and peace in your heart

Thanks, Annika! This is the second good book recommendation this week. I'm going to have great stuff to read during our Christmas break! I love getting books in the mail, second only to farmgirl mail! :D

yup, that's where I found information on tanning sheep skins and all sorts of other problems that send me running in a blind panic for more information.
There are a LOT of new books out as well and so maybe we could keep it as a sticky post or something...I'm kind of an eco-friendly farm girl in training as a animal care taker on a farm, so I'm doing my residency as it were, for when I get my own bit of land...lol! I sure plan on doing things a lot different on my own place. I appreciate all of the wisdom and down to earth knowledge that we share here.
Wishing you joy in small things and peace in your heart

Yep - I'm out here! Lemme see what I can look back and find. I just KNOW there was something!!!!
By the way - I just LOVE "Country Women." It is SOOOOOOoooooo fun to read, and really has great information. It's also a confidence-builder if you're going at it by yourself. I happen to be married, but I do a lot of the farmy stuff alone...
XOXO, Libbie

I think a few years ago that thread was started but there are so many new farmgirls it would be fun to do it again. I'll see if I could find it. MB
PS. I think Libbie started it and it was about books needed for farmgirls and farming. Are ya out there Libbie? Do you remember? MB

I guess I'm an old hippy too LOL! it is a great book, I've had mine since I was 20ish or something and have loved it. Oldies but goodies 
We should all start a "must have" books list for farmgirls.

I have that book and have had it since the 70s. I guess I am that 'old' hippy. It is really a great book and as you said with lots of knowledge. Enjoy. MB
