To thrive as a modern homesteader, you don't need to live off-grid and forego modern conveniences. For the majority of modern homesteaders, the journey begins with a conscious decision to reduce their dependence on the commercial food supply chain. In The Modern Homestead Garden, author and YouTube gardening sensation Gary Pilarchik of The Rusted Garden leads you step-by-step through the process of creating a homestead garden. From laying out the planting beds, nurturing the soil, and starting seeds to cooking and preserving the harvest, Gary serves as your friendly and encouraging guide, regardless of the size or scale of your homestead.
