2023 Books Of The Month
January 2023
The Backyard Homestead Seasonal Planner
by Ann Larken Hansen
We chose this book for January because it’s great for helping us keep on track with the tasks that need to be done on our homesteads each season. If you’re a gardener, keep livestock, have an orchard, or are a beekeeper, you’ll find this planner to be an invaluable tool to make notes, time out planting and harvesting windows, and manage a wide range of tasks on a diverse homestead or small farm.

This book is a comprehensive resource for learning how to grow a wide variety of different food crops to fill your pantry and freezer.

This book is particularly useful for determining how many plants or row feet per family member you may want to plant to provide your family with food for most of the year.
