Daisy Woodhouse never knew what homesteading was or what it really meant to live a self sufficient lifestyle until she met her husband. He was from a small farming town that pretty much operated off the grid. Most persons generated their own electricity and as they were farmers they had a system set up to trade crops.
When Daisy visited this town, she was intrigued by the idea and started to learn everything that she could about the self sufficient lifestyle. Being a city girl it was a big transition for her. She learned how to can and preserve food items, how to plant her own vegetables among other things. This experience led to her writing a book on her experience.
