About this title

From the Author:

Hi to My Readers from Carla!
What a privilege and joy it is to have authored a book read by more than 400,000 persons. For 25 years, I've collected information about family food production and related rural subjects. It feels good at this stage of my life to know that work was well done. My life is now a perpetual speaking tour, helping folks understand what's coming, "How to prepare for Y2K." (I hope for lecture invites also from overseas.) Everywhere I go, I meet old friends whom I've never personally met before. These folks have enjoyed and relied on the how-to-do-it information in the Encyclopedia of Country Living for years. Their beat-up old books tell a beautiful story of hard work and dedication.. Sometimes I've felt foolish for insisting on telling readers things like how to save seeds and how to grow their own feed for farm animals. At times, I've been scorned and berated for trying to keep oldtime skills alive. But as Y2K approaches, inexorably as the clock ticks, this information is becoming mainstream again. I love you, dear readers. You have been a beautiful thing in my life, too. God be with you in the coming years.

Synopsis:

Recipes are combined with advice in food preservation, gardening, beekeeping, raising livestock, soap making, and other farm and household activities.
