Quick quotes

    This book is great for vicarious living - the author set up her own little homestead in Idaho with bees, bunnies, sheep, and a big garden. It's a great balance between her stories and how-to tips.

    I feel like Jenna Woginrich must be my long lost twin. This little primer was short but sweet, and stokes my homesteading dreams!

    This book made me want to raise my own chickens. If a book has the power to inspire that in me, it's pretty darn good.

Quick quotes

    This book was interesting because it was part memoir and part how-to.

    It was also interesting because I actually read Woginrich’s second book, Barnheart, a while back.

    I really liked that Woginrich is (at the time of writing this book, anyway) both single and a renter.

The book is a mix of memoir and how-to guide for a simpler lifestyle, with some readers finding it inspiring and others pretentious. The author's humor and self-absorption are noted, as well as the book's specific information and resources.

The book is part memoir and part how-to guide for a simpler lifestyle. Some readers found it inspiring and enjoyed the chapters on chickens, bees, rabbits, and gardening. Others found the author's humor snobbish and her self-absorption unattractive. The book is noted for its specific information and resources, with some readers appreciating the practical advice and others finding the book too narrow in scope. The author's enthusiasm is both a strength and a weakness, with some readers enjoying her excitement and others finding it overwhelming.

Quick quotes

    Part memoir, part how-to get started in a "simpler" lifestyle. Ms. Woginrich is capable of humor but her humor skews as snobbish and unnecessarily political

    good book but it contains very specific information. this is not a do-all kind of book. but it certainly made me want to raise angora rabbits!

    I loved this book! I have no idea how I found it, but I think it was through Amazon where you look at one book and then there are suggestions on other books. I could not put it down and have gained so much inspiration from this book. Excellent read!
