I found Jenna’s book in a local library when I searched for information on homesteading, it’s what came up on the computer, along with some other book, which I’ve long forgotten. I expected a dry “how-to’ book on homesteading, but found it to be anything but.. I found I could not put the book down, and tore through it in no time. I love Jenna’s style of writing, she gets all the thoughts/ feelings / emotions across so well to the reader. The book is not a “how to” but rather an adventure.
I really liked this book. And I’m glad Jenna was all for letting us have the Barnheart group on Facebook. Some people wouldn’t have been so cool about it.

As far as having “values” outside the corporate mainstream, I’m not exactly sure what she means. She’s a savvy businesswoman for sure. She sure knows how to compose her blog in such a way as to sell as many books as possible. The handcrank radio giveaway was clever if crassly commercial. A nice logo too – the bold black antlers against the white background. A lot of thought was put into it. I wonder how long it’ll be before we see that logo being slapped onto all sorts of homesteading products?
I love how down to earth Jenna is. She has written a book that speaks to the simple mind and that’s me! She is so honest in facing her mistakes and that is important to one would homestead and have a fear of just messing things up. (continued below)
Most people would have left out, for instance, what happened to her angora rabbit or the queen bee in her first hive. These instances speak to us out there who need to hear that every thing is NOT going to go as planned. Everything is not going to turn out perfect. I enjoyed the book so much and look foward to checking out more on the blogspot that I just discovered. ***** to Jenna!
Hi Jenna, I just read your article “Life On The Homestead” in Mother Earth News and decided to look up your blog — which led me to this video. You are doing a great service and I look forward to getting a copy of your book.
Jenna..I am so impressed by all that you have done! I’m reading your book (thanks for the signed copy!) and am enjoying it very much. It’s so easy to read. I love your style.
Best wishes for a prosperous new year.

Bless you, Jenna. Yes, just begin. A garden and chickens are a good place for most people.
