Ms. Zundel has walked the walk and foreseen the pitfalls so she can guide her readers through them unscathed. But she wasn’t satisfied with relaying just her own experience.

“Tessa’s book, The Do It Yourself Homestead, is quite refreshing. I can’t think of a person on earth that can’t take something from this amazingly concise, humorous, straight-forward educational book. One “stand-out” for me is the challenge to motivate participation of each family member to take part in some aspect of the homestead and contribute to the welfare of one another within the family with industry, skill, and joy at every age. Tessa inspires and makes it easy to take the next step in homesteading no matter where you are in your homesteading journey.

If you are a seasoned homesteader, you will be encouraged, challenged and well-equipped for further delving into aspects of homesteading you may never have given a thought. Perfectly thought through, very well organized, and a delight to read, I’ll be keeping the The Do It Yourself Homestead on my resource shelf for years to come.” — Stacy Lynn Harris, author of Harvest and Wildgame
“This book is charming. The illustrations are lovely and homespun, the advice is so enjoyable to read that I couldn’t put it down, and there’s something for everyone from the least experienced beginner to those who have been at it for a long time. There is a focus on healthful living, DIY, and simplicity. It all sounds so very attainable that everyone who reads it will be eager to dip a toe into the waters of self-sufficiency – and regardless of where they live, they’ll find tips to help them do just that.
But for me, as great as that was, it wasn’t even the best part of it.
I lived a preparedness lifestyle long before I began homesteading. When I began to straddle the line between the two, I was disappointed to see how many homesteading guides completely disregarded the need for preparedness. After all, isn’t an agrarian, self-sufficient lifestyle the epitome of preparedness?
This book links the two worlds together and ties them up in a neat bow. We live in a world in which anything can happen, and Tessa shows very clearly how preparations for a rainy day are necessary for even the most experienced homesteader. Her section on preparedness breaks the concepts down into easy, sensible steps and she seasons it with a generous dash of humor and personal experience.
I absolutely loved the entire book, and that chapter was the cherry on top of my prepper sundae.” — Daisy Luther, author of The Pantry Primer and The Prepper’s Water Survival Guide

If you weren’t sure where to start to create your own homestead, you’ll know now.
