Book Review: “One Acre & defense” by Bradford Angier

Originally written in 1972, this book by Bradford Angier is timeless in every sense of the word. Hailed as “Mr. Outdoors”, Angier was a forefather in the back-to-the-earth movement of the 60’s and 70’s. that book includes everything for public who simply want to learn about organic choices in farming their own small suburban yard, to those committed to living off the land entirely.

My favorite part of that book is how it’s written from the perspective that you don’t need

to live hundreds of miles away from all civilization to be self-sufficient. Just as the title suggests, with one acre used wisely, you can supply for you and your family just as well. He covers everything from composting, raising animals, eating wild plants, harvesting bees for honey and much, much more. There’s even a chapter on building your own log cabin! that book is definitely a must-read for anyone even considering a life more in-tune with Mother Earth.
