Candle- and soap-making, blacksmithing, basket weaving, natural yarn dying, and repurposing were all time-honored traditions that were essential to the farm's microeconomy and long-term success. While many of these traditional skills have been lost to the convenience of today's modern economy, they are still alive and thriving among America's farmers. The FarmMade Essential Skills Book showcases fifty authentic projects from farms all over the country.

Revive valuable lost traditions and pave the way for a more independent, sustainable future with The FarmMade Essential Skills Book.
