Natural Homestead: 40+ Recipes for Natural Critters & Crops

By Jill Winger

How Natural is YOUR Homestead?You're ditching the chemical-laden bath products. You're buying organic produce. You're reading the labels of everything that comes into your house.But what about the barnyard?Parasite resistance is on the rise as many conventional deworming products are becoming less effective due to overuse, and not only do some bagged chicken feeds contain bizarre ingredients like feather meal, but that feather meal has also been shown to add unwanted antibiotics to the feed. How about that popular herbicide that everyone has sitting in their garage? It's been linked to tumors in animals, DNA damage, cancer, endocrine disruption, and physiological disorders in crops. And one of the most common garden pesticides in the United States has been linked to reproductive problems, cancer, and neurological issues. Natural Homestead is a 226-page handbook with over 40 natural homesteading recipes & formulas and 60+ full-color photos.While Pinterest has no shortage of recipes for things like window cleaner and chocolate chip cookies, searches for homemade chicken feed or herbal deworming recipes yield slim results. This one-of-a-kind handbook is designed to help you reduce your dependence on the products at the feed store. The research has been done for you, so you don't have to spend hours surfing forums, scanning websites, and reading books to piece together the information you need. This manual is for homesteaders of all kinds-you don't have to own a one-hundred-acre spread to benefit from the simple, holistic concepts you'll find within its pages.
