Book excerpt: The first author lived in the country without electricity on a small farm near a river and lakes. This book describes how his family grew, raised, shot, and caught their food, and how billions of people today use the same methods to get their food. They don't have large grocery stores where they can buy what they need, so how do they get their food? It's hard work and takes many hours every week. This book will tell you what has to be done and how to do it.
