People have been living off the land for millions of years, and in recent times, self-sustainability has become a hot topic. Rising costs in supermarkets and the lack of true organic produce have led to more and more people turning to their own gardens to provide some of their food. The only way to eat truly organic and healthy produce is to grow your own, and over the years, I've made the mistakes and learned from them so that I can pass my knowledge on to you. Make no mistake; gardening is not easy, but it is one of the most rewarding things you can do for a healthier life.

Traditionally, greenhouses were only for the rich. But this is not the case today. You can make your own greenhouse for next to nothing…and you don’t have to be an architect! Many people assume that growing your own food requires a certain skill, but you certainly don’t have to be a gardener! What you need is reliable knowledge from someone who started with just a handful of seeds and now uses their greenhouse to make an extra income. You need a step-by-step guide to planting, pruning, and harvesting. And most of all, you need a plan!

Publisher's summary
What would life be like if the only person you had to answer to was yourself?
If you'd like to become a homesteader but don't know where to start, this may be the only advice you need to get going.
On the other hand, if you're interested in off-grid living...but lack the will to make things work...then this message may save you thousands of dollars...and a lifetime of regret.
You see, when most people think of homesteading, they're really thinking about "family farms," where people grow their own food and never have to worry about money ever again.
But in reality, being a homesteader isn't just about having your own plot of land...or raising your own livestock.
It's about redefining what it means to have a "good life" and finding your own path to success.
Whether you're sitting in front of a computer all day...or out in the field digging a pond...work is an inescapable fact of life.
But if you ask homesteaders why they changed their lives, it all boils down to one simple idea: Freedom.
The freedom to choose how you live your life.
And if you've been itching to begin a new chapter in your life...one that doesn't revolve around a humdrum 9-5 job...then homesteading may be just the kind of lifestyle you're looking for.
Here's the good news: You don't need to buy a patch of farmland just to become a homesteader. By following the instructions inside this guide, you can start growing your own fruits and vegetables with the space you already have.
So even if you're not yet fully financially independent, you can stop depending on others to put food on the table...and start taking full control of your life.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.
