Modern media is full of bad advice on homesteading and agriculture, and the internet in particular, has become a fertile landscape, rich in bullsh*t on these subjects. This book will not help you quit the rat race and live self-sufficiently, nor does it claim to hold any solution for a broken food system, resource inequality, mass-extinction, or a climate careening into a death spiral. But it does admit these things exist. In a world that lays it on thick in order to sell you classes, consultations, and certificates, this book is a bit different; a meager offering of commentary, anecdotes and observations from a year spent living simply and growing food. It will not change your life, but it might get you thinking...
In this, the first collected volume of essays from the Fox Holler Almanac newsletter, the reader is entreated to some ecology, history, and experience spent toiling in the dirt. At times poetic, occasionally educational, and hopefully entertaining, volume one of the Fox Holler Almanac is sure to become a niche classic, gracing frigid rural outhouses and holding up wobbly table legs in dozens of dysfunctional homesteads for years to come.
