One Acre and Security How to Live Off the Earth Without Ruining It

Willow Creek Press is proud to bring back to print Bradford Angier's classic One Acre & Security: How To Live Off the Earth without Ruining It. First published in 1972, Angier (deceased) is one of the pre-eminent voices of the back-to-the-earth movement. One Acre & Security is a book for all those who have dreamed of living close to the earth, not in the wilderness, but on land within easy driving distance of the city or suburbs. It begins by explaining what sort of land to look for, where to look & how to make sure of land titles. It goes on to discuss organic gardening on one acre of land, raising herbs for money & bees for honey, growing grapes, making wine, juice & jellies, & drying raisins. For the more serious back-to-the-earther, there are sections on how to build a house, keep cows, goats, sheep, pigs & poultry, raise rabbits, earthworms, fish, frogs & turtles, & how to find the best hunting & fishing. Angier's text is as useful & thorough today as it was 30 years ago, & deserves to be on the shelves of a new generation of back-to-earthers.Angier, Bradford is the author of 'One Acre and Security How to Live Off the Earth Without Ruining It' with ISBN 9781572233942 and ISBN 157223394X.
