While searching for some information on self sufficiency and producing food for your own family I came across a website with a review of the book, “The Backyard Homestead.”

This book is of interest to those of you that have small areas of property and will guide you in the best methods of raising meat and plant food in small spaces.  Self sufficiency in these times is paramount.  I would not say that I am in the survivalist mode but it does not hurt to think small and grow enough food to take care of your immediate loved ones.

Though I was attracted to this site by the book title I want to call your attention to the actual website itself.  This site is The Untrained Housewife and is operated by @AngEngland with a plan to provide a place for young housewives or housewives that might have had a lifestyle change recently that would benefit by networking with others in the same situation.

Subjects covered by The Untrained Housewife are; the kitchen table, home management, homestead, hobbies, heart beats, family room and the medicine chest.  The tagline is “A community of mothers and homemakers sharing housekeeping tips and tricks.” The site is growing daily and you will find something of interest for all home makers.
