Roxy Kilmer –
This has been one of the most informative and realistic curriculums if you are interested in applicable material. As someone who teaches Agriculture Educational classes, it is difficult to find books that have a wealth of knowledge that you feel confident enough to try after. Also, there is a full array of topics related to homesteading, basic life skills, applicable knowledge, gardening and more. Even if your family is not interested in pursuing homesteading, there are still many skills you can learn that can be brought into your daily life.
