Is the Homesteader Book Bundle Right for You?
This bundle is for people who want practical, affordable ways to become
more self-sufficient—without needing a large farm, expensive equipment,
or years of experience.
It will help you:
-
Grow more of your own food in the space you have
-
Extend your harvest beyond the normal gardening season
-
Build a simple, inexpensive greenhouse
-
Raise meat chickens or pigs on a small property
-
Develop useful homesteading skills before you urgently need them
These are straightforward systems we learned and used at New Terra Farm.
The goal is not to build a perfect homestead overnight. It is to start
where you are, tackle one useful project at a time, and avoid some of the
expensive mistakes we made along the way.
Quick answer: If you want practical plans for growing
food, extending the season, building a greenhouse, and raising small
livestock, this bundle gives you a solid place to begin.
Most of us would like to be a little less dependent on fragile supply chains, and a little more capable of providing for ourselves. That does not mean we have to disappear into the wilderness or turn the backyard into a full-time farm. We can start with a productive garden. Add a small greenhouse. Learn to raise a batch of chickens or a couple of pigs. Then build from there. That is how we did it at New Terra Farm. The Homesteader Book Bundle brings those practical, step-by-step systems together in one affordable package.

52-Week Harvest Worksheet Collection

Five books. Seven bonus resources. Twelve practical tools for building

We bought New Terra Farm in 2000 without knowing all the answers. We learned by growing gardens, building greenhouses, raising livestock and gradually developing a successful small-farm business. In 2006, our farm model won a Ministry of Agriculture competition involving 255 farms. Since then, more than 2,000 people have purchased our books and courses. Everything in this bundle comes from systems we have actually used, not theories collected from other books.
Why These Books Are Different
These are not complicated plans written for large commercial farms.
They are practical guides for ordinary people who want to grow more food,
become more self-sufficient, and avoid wasting money on systems they do
not need.
Designed for Ordinary Properties
Use these ideas in a backyard, on a homestead, or on a small farm.
You do not need hundreds of acres to start producing more of your
own food.
Built for Sensible Budgets
The plans emphasize function over expensive finishes, fancy
equipment, and unnecessary extras. We focus on what works without
making every project cost a fortune.
Written for Beginners
We started as beginners too. The books explain what to do, why it
matters, and where mistakes are most likely to cost you time or money.
Tested in Real Conditions
These systems were developed on a Canadian farm with real winters,
predators, limited budgets, and unpredictable weather—not in a
perfect demonstration garden.
Focused on Useful Results
The goal is not a picture-perfect homestead. It is more food, greater
security, useful skills, and practical projects you can actually
complete.
Based on First-Hand Experience
The advice comes from projects we have actually built, crops we have
grown, and livestock we have raised at New Terra Farm.
The bottom line: You get straightforward guidance that
helps you start with what you have, take one useful step at a time, and
avoid learning every lesson the expensive way.
What Readers Are Saying
Practical advice is only useful when people can understand it and put it
to work. Here is what a few readers had to say.
“
Very clearly written and thorough.
— Steve G.
“
I really wished I had it last year. It has already caused me to
rethink and redesign next year’s plan.
— Sherri, Dunnville, Ontario
“
Fantastic reading, and it will be really helpful when we start up
our farm.
— Katie W.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click any question below to see the answer.
Are these printed books or digital downloads?
These are digital books and resources. Nothing will be shipped in the
mail. You can download the complete bundle after your purchase and
start using it right away.
How will I receive the bundle?
After your payment is completed, you will be taken to a download page
where you can access the books, plans, worksheets, and other resources.
You should also receive purchase information by email.
Can I read the books on a computer, tablet, or phone?
Yes. The books are supplied in common digital formats that can be
opened on most computers, tablets, and smartphones. You can also print
pages for your own use when you want a working copy in the garden,
greenhouse, or barn.
Do I need a farm to use these books?
No. Many of the ideas can be used in a large backyard, on a rural
property, or on a small homestead. You can start with a garden or
greenhouse and add livestock only when you have the space, time, and
local permission to do so.
Are the books suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. We started as beginners ourselves, so the books explain the basic
steps, the reasoning behind them, and the common mistakes most likely
to waste time or money.
Will the gardening and greenhouse advice work in a northern climate?
The systems were developed on a Canadian farm with cold winters and a
limited growing season. You will still need to adjust planting dates
for your own climate, but the season-extension principles are
especially useful for northern growers.
Do I need construction experience to build the greenhouses or coops?
Advanced construction experience is not required, but you should be
comfortable using basic hand and power tools. The plans emphasize
simple, functional structures rather than complicated construction.
Get experienced help whenever a project is beyond your skill level.
Can I buy the books separately?
Yes, the five main books are available separately for $9 each. Buying
the complete bundle gives you all five books, seven additional
resources, and an $18 saving compared with buying the books one at a
time.
What is covered by the 10X value guarantee?
Put the resources to work. If you do not believe the bundle provides
at least ten times its $27 price in useful information, saved time, or
avoided mistakes, contact us for a refund.
What if I have trouble downloading my purchase?
