Many years ago, bestselling author Peter Wohlleben and his wife, Miriam, embarked on the dream of a lifetime. They decided to move to a forester's lodge in a small rural community and grow as much of their own food as they could, while working jobs and raising a young family.
They soon discovered the joys and challenges of raising a wise range of animals and plants, from sheep to goats, goji berries to potatoes, and currants to cabbage. Along the way, Peter and Miriam came to appreciate all that nature has to offer for both the body and the mind. In this book, they share their practical homesteading tips and recipes from their decades of experience.
This book is an invaluable guide to sustainable living. It feels like a breath of fresh air. Peter Wohlleben, of course, is an environmentalist at heart. He looks for ways we can protect our planet while living close to nature and the world.
His wife, Miriam is also an invaluable partner in the writing of this book. After three decades of country living, she cannot now image her life without goats, chickens, horses, and a vegetable garden.
I loved this book and will be recommending it to all my friends. It is one of those books that is a relatively easy read. But it is inspiring and compels one to start living very different from hereon.
Only we can save our planet. This is one way of doing so. All we have to do is be eager to try a countercultural life, one that is deeply impacted by the laws of nature.
