From the rear cover
In 1974, Lloyd and Lesley started building a home and establishing a garden on a half-acre piece of land in a small town on the northern California coast. Here is their story, along with over 500 photos of their home, the garden, pantry, kitchen, greenhouses, chicken coop, and animal visitors.
The book also covers cooking, foraging, fishing, crafts, birds, butterflies, and tools. Their main theme is that this was all done by hand.
"We both wanted to create a home and grow our own food. I'd been working as a carpenter for about 10 years and had built a homestead in Big Sur in the '60s. Lesley had been gardening, sewing, and practicing crafts most of her life.
"We wanted to do as much for ourselves as possible, and we wanted to avoid paying rent or getting a mortgage. And we both wanted to have a home built of natural materials, that was functional, practical, and good-feeling."
