Here is what is up for the offering:
Book #1
By one of my favorite non-fiction writers,
Joel Salatin. A wonderful book that reinforces
the importance of nurturing the "family" farm.
Book #2
(slightly different cover than mine)
A great resource for starting a small herd
of goaties.
Book #3
A classic from one of the foremost
proponents of farming and food. A great
read.
Book #4
If it wasn't for the six feet of rock and gravel
on my property, I would have done
this successfully.
So there you have them, from soup to nuts. To be entered in the giveaway, just leave a comment about which book you would like. This giveaway is open to US and Canada only, given the exorbitant postal costs of shipping any further. I will randomly choose (four) winners on Sunday and announce them on Monday. Cheers!

Oh, I've always loved Wendell Berry--how did I miss this volume?
I've always wanted to explore Lasagna gardening! Especially since we will be moving to AZ and starting from scratch with unknown soil conditions. Just wish I had half your energy!

Oh what a nice book collection you have I would love to take book #1 off your hands:) This is a wonderful give away Sue. That top book sounds like something where I will learn a thing or two:) Thank you. Hug B
Salatin. This is a good idea. I probably have some books I could share as well.
Wendell Berry is one of the most profound thinkers and beautiful writers I know. I'd love a copy of his book. Thanks for doing this giveaway.
Sue - I heard about this particular volume on another blog and had to read it. He is such a wonderful writer!
Sue O - Just wait until you start - you'll find more energy than you knew you had. I think it is directly involved with loving what you are doing.
Buttons - I always learn something from Mr. Salatin! He has such a good sense of humor, too. xoxo
TM - I think we should start a homesteaders reference round robin - or whatever it's called. There are so many great books out there.
Joy - Isn't he, though? I will put you in - thanks for commenting!
I have to go for Door (oops, I mean BOOK) #1, too. I haven't seen that one.
What a nice giveaway, Sweeze! We were going to sort through all our books last winter, but it didn't get done. Maybe this winter . . . although we've so darn many books that a winter's sorting might not be enough. Thanks again for the giveaway(s)!!
Susan,
All these books would make for a great giveaway. Thank you for sponsoring this wonderful giveaway. I would love to get my hands on Book 1, 3, or 4.
Mama Pea - You are in the hat for Book #1! If it wasn't for the library sale, I would have put it off. But you know how that goes - how many things we put off until winter - when we have ALL that time...
Sandy - You are in for all three!
I would love to win Family friendly farming and the bringing it to the table. This is a great giveaway for homesteaders. Thanks for sharing.
Michelle - I will put you in the 'pot' for both. Good luck!
I heard Joel Salatin speak a year or so ago. Fascinating man and earth practices.
How on earth can a person decide? You have great taste but then Your Pooches prove that! If you pick me.....just give me the one you think I would like the most. This giveaway is a great idea. I have some doubles of things that would look good in a home that could use them! Do take care all of you! Oh how is the hoof trimming going?
Ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo!! I would LOVE to be entered in the drawing for the Joel Salatin book! I've only read one of his books "This Ain't Normal" and loved it! I passed it on to someone else in a giveaway (now that I think about it, I think I initially got it from YOU!!), because I believe books like that NEED to be read and the more people that read his stuff, the better!
I think you're on to a good idea, I've got a book I'm reading now (and will probably finish in a day or two, it's sooooo good) so I think I'll see your giveaway and raise you one! :)
Oh my goodness ... such a choice! I'd love book #1 by Joe Salatin. I love all gardening books and probably need a bigger bookshelf to put them all on, but more books never hurts anyone ... thanks for a wonderful giveaway.

NOW the comment box appears! (Just sent you an email.) I'd also love to win the Salatin book.
I'd love the Goat book, Bringing it to The Table :)
Phooey, for some reason I never got this post in my feed. It showed me not a follower any more. Hm...anyway, I'm back to following. Not sure what happened.
Okay, is it only my blog messing up? I signed up again to follow and today you are off my blog list. I signed up again today to follow. Not sure what's going on.
