The Simple Life

Living off the grid is something that is talked about by many who would like to free themselves of ‘the rat race’ and live a lifestyle that is closer to nature. The reasoning behind living your life away from the constraints of the power grid and using a more renewable energy source goes beyond trying to live a life of solitude, though you obviously could do that if you wanted. It goes beyond the money thаt could potentially be saved by not having to pay fоr the роwеr generated in the usual way. Off grid living even goes beyond a desire for a more ecological ‘green’ way of life and being earth friendly because often at it’s heart, is a desire to go back to a simpler way of living. And really, what could be better…?

People sometimes ask me, 'What are your favorite goat books?' I do recommend my own (The Backyard Goat Book) but apart from those, my favorite goat book is Jennie P. Grant's 'City Goats; the Goat Justice League's Guide to Backyard Goat Keeping' (Skipstone; 2012). Even if you don't live in the city you'll love this fun and useful goat keeping guide. It's written in an informative yet lighthearted manner that keeps me smiling as I read it and the information between its covers is first-rate. The plans for her combination goat shed/chicken house make me wish we had this structure in our yard. I love this book. I really do.
