Favorite Books on Life in the Country

in Animals on the Farm

For years on this website and in my personal life I have been recommending the same books, even though I've read many others. Why? Because these books are timeless, helpful, and cover a wide range of country living topics.

There's really not much to say - that you won't find on Amazon's sales pages or in the book reviews that people leave. Other than these do have my highest recommendations.

A favorite that is forever passed between my inlaws house and my own - and they are a third generation farming family! I had an older version of this book which for some reason I gave away, and now can't even remember who I gave it to! They must have needed it...The book is a fun read that is valuable and helpful - even in the city! Recipes, how-to, gardening, first aid and more. More Info

Covers all aspects of country living. This book has been around for ages and is in it's 4th printing I believe. After all, who can go wrong with a Reader's Digest book? More Info
