Even as a homesteader myself, herbalism has always been a bit of a mystery. Until now. In The Homesteader's Herbal Companion, Amy makes herbalism not only easy to understand, but also inspiringly charming. Easy methods, dosages, and instructions make herbalism do-able, even for the average person. Looks like we'll all be planting a much larger herbal garden this spring.
