These are the people who inspired me. The places I started, and where I continue to go for information, inspiration, and hope. There are more, but I’ve tried to narrow it down to the essentials.
Books to Read
1. Anything by Joel Salatin
This man is my hero. See his full selection here. My favourites, so far, are:
Everything I Want To Do is Illegal
Or, you know, just buy it all.
His books are also available at amazon.ca
2. The Untold Story of Milk – by Ron Schmid, ND
This is why I drink raw milk. And fight for it. Mind blown.
3. Nourishing Traditions – by Sally Fallon.
So much information. So good. So important. It will change the way you look at food.
4. The Hand-Sculpted House – by Ianto Evans, Michael G. Smith, & Linda Smiley
These people know how to build houses. One day, I’m making one of these.
5. Bright Line Eating – by Susan Peirce Thompson
If you have a hard time controlling what you eat, this book is for you. Read about my experience with bright lines at BLE & Me.
