Old-Time Kentucky Farmsteading Ways and Means

Descended from a long line of Shelby County homesteaders, Herbert Lee Clark lived his entire life near Harrisonville, Kentucky. A stone mason by trade, he was also a well-known fiddle player, handyman, and farmer who believed in the “old ways” of self-sufficiency and hard work.

Old-Time Kentucky Farmsteading Ways and Means provides information and instructions for traditional farmsteading, taken from journals Clark recorded in the 1970s and 1980s. Included are tips for constructing buildings, keeping animals healthy, growing food crops, using natural medicines and treatments, and other do-it-yourself solutions for every day needs.

This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to use the tools and methods that have been passed down for generations throughout rural communities.
