See moreThe Nourishing Asian Homestead is an all-in-one guide for the modern homesteader, fusing cross-cultural traditional nutrition and agricultural knowledge with digital-age economics.
This practical guide to building an independent homestead draws on Weston A. Price principles, regenerative agriculture, and Asian farming techniques like Bokashi composting and Korean Natural Farming.
The book begins by connecting soil health to human health. Using their Silicon Valley business savvy and their Tennessee homesteading experience, Sophia and Tim offer the reader everything they need to know about growing nutrient-dense food, permaculture, ethical animal husbandry, business and marketing strategies, food preservation, energy and water independence, and community skill-sharing and bartering.
The book includes design principles, information about grazing systems, income stream development, seasonal menu planning, and more. The authors conclude by sharing how they've resolved challenges along the way and their reflections on training the next generation.
Like The Nourishing Asian Kitchen, Nourishing the Homestead is infused with Sophie and Tim's enthusiastic personalities and personal stories, which is only fitting for a homesteading philosophy grounded in the importance of family and community.
