The Self Sufficient Life You Desire

16/10/2023

Book Review

Novembers book review is a long time favourite of mine. If you own this book or have read it I bet you’ll agree. If you don’t already own it, I highly suggest you go out and buy it! It deserves a place on every homesteaders resource library.

Book Title:

The New Organic Grower

By: Eliot Coleman

“A Masters Manual Of Tools And Techniques For The Home And Market Gardener”

BUY THIS BOOK

Favourites about the book:

1: The writing. Eliot Coleman has a way in which he writes. It’s very poetic and romantic. It inspires readers and energizes the heart. You don’t feel like your reading any old how to book, you feel like your seeing into the authors heart behind the book with every word he says. Its so clear that gardening is Eliot’s passion in life!

2: The amount of visuals. The book is filled with high resolution pictures, charts, graphs and more to help give insight into what he is talking about or explaining throughout the book.

3: Experience. Eliot coleman has been gardening for over 50 years! Fine tuning his work, inventing new things and always seeking to learn and to educate. That’s priceless in my opinion.

Dislikes about the book:

Well to be honest I don’t have any dislikes.

If you’ve read the book I’d love to hear if you have any dislikes! Let us know in the chat group!

A Lovely Place Called Home
A Lovely Place Called Home

This podcast is a practical tool for your homesteading toolbelt. Each episode walks through the real numbers, systems, and decisions behind building a working homestead — not the aesthetic version, the functional one. We break down cost analyses, infrastructure planning, off-grid setups, livestock math, garden yields, land considerations, and whether an idea actually makes financial and logistical sense for your life.

If you’ve ever wondered “Could we really do this?” — this is where we run the numbers and find out. No hype. No fantasy. Just clear thinking, grounded strategy, and honest evaluation so you can build something stable, sustainable, and strong for your family.

We Sold Everything To Move North And Farm Off Grid… AGAIN Ep.13
byMicheon Hutchings

For years, we believed we had found the farm we would stay on forever.

We built our off-grid home, raised our family, and poured our hearts into creating a life that felt deeply rooted. Leaving was never part of the plan.

But life has a way of surprising us. Or should I say, God LOL

In this episode, I’m sharing the full story behind our decision to sell our farm, move north to Manitoulin Island, and start over on a completely new property. I’ll talk about the challenges, the uncertainty, the excitement, and the lessons we’ve learned through one of the biggest transitions our family has ever faced.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re making the right decision, struggled to let go of a dream, or found yourself standing at the beginning of a new chapter, I hope this conversation encourages you!
