A COUNTRY PLANET: Woodlots Approaches to Rural Success Vermont
Description : 29 May, 2023
Title: A COUNTRY PLANET: Woodlots, Pig Plows, Tax Shelters, and 20 More Fresh Approaches to Rural Success
Description: From the back cover: For more than a decade Tim Matson’s 45-acre Vermont farm has been a backyard think tank and experimental proving ground. Now, in A Country Planet, the author recounts the struggles and the successes that came with clearing and building his mountain home. Focusing on the basic elements of the land -- shelter, homegrown food, water, and woods -- Matson offers mentaries on new approaches to rural living, ranging from “The Pig is Mightier Than the Plow”, to “Blackberry Veritas” and “Bringing Back a Swamp”.
He writes about inexpensive (tax) shelters, cooperative pond making, fire protection, horse logging, cutting and burning wood, raising turkeys without antibiotics, wild food and “born again” vegetables, homemade beer and wine, “borrowed scenery” and much more.
Black & white photos are throughout the book.
