Mastering the Art of Self-sufficiency

Carolann Murray

In Mastering the Art of Self-sufficiency in New Zealand, Carolann Murray gives an informative and often hilarious account of her expedition towards self-sufficiency.  On the way, she discusses the pros and cons of everything from generating power and no-dig gardens to milking stools and beehives;  She gives the reader handy tips and recipes for making wine, cheese, bread and honey, and tells how to regby-tackle sheep, corral cows and deal to recalcitrant chooks.  Her writing is peppered with anecdotes, strong opinions, and her own special brand of humour.

If you dream of living the good life, this book will help make it a reality and provide a thoroughly entertaining read.
