Readers were encouraged to contribute what they knew about gardening, raising goats, building a barn, or any other practical know-how valuable to the new farmer. These voices became the collective voice of self-sufficient women everywhere. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTetrault and Thomas painstakingly crafted this compendium of the magazine's early years more to capture the best of the information, while adding additional sections on veterinary medicine, carpentry, and more detailed animal care.

A must for everyone wishing to build a stronger relationship with the land and their place on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is also available from Echo Point Books in hardcover (ISBN 1635619904).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 10.88 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 13, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53149410754671,"sku":"9781635619911","price":50.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4966\/4879\/files\/NEFVMW0vUHduSWN4dTNiYitMbHN1UT09.webp?v=1779594892","url":"https:\/\/finderbooks.com\/products\/country-women-a-handbook-for-the-new-farmer-paperback","provider":"Finder Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
