About this listen

Off Grid Farming Essentials can help you be more successful and overcome off grid challenges. This audiobook begins by explaining everything you need to know about planting, growing, maintaining, harvesting, and storing your homegrown nuts and fruit.

The audiobook then describes which greenhouse structure or garden type will work best for your particular harsh weather challenges—such as too hot, cold, dry, wet, or windy.

You will then learn all about acquiring bees, beehive designs, beekeeping equipment, beehive management, bee health, inspections, seasonal care, and honey harvesting. Finally, you will discover all there is to know about fish farming in open ponds, rearing in net pens and cages, recirculating aquaculture systems, and aquaponics.

  • Discover how to get the most yield from your nut and fruit trees, by selecting the best variety for your chill hours, and pollination pairing requirements.
  • Learn how to have a healthy and productive garden, even in the harshest weather conditions, and even if your soil is poor or your water is limited.
  • Find out which option of acquiring honeybees is best for beginners, and which variety of bees, and type of beehive is best for starting an apiary for honey.
  • Discover how to keep your bees healthy, produce maximum honey, and avoid the common problems.
  • Discover how to build a pond and raise fish for maximum yield and long-term recreation.
  • Learn how to raise 100 lb. of fish in 6 months without a pond, in as little as 100 square feet.

There is no better feeling than to be able to grow your own food on your own homestead. With this audiobook, you will have everything you will need to know to make your off grid farming a success!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This audiobook is very comprehensive. It is easy to follow and explains everything in great detail with the ability to apply right now. The list of items covered is vast, and I loved the simple directions. He discusses nut and fruit trees, greenhouse gardening, bees, and fish farming to name a few. The author, John Utterback, inspires you to work towards off grid food production, but also provides very realistic and obtainable steps to complete. Donald Cuddington is a great narrator. His pace is even, and he does not change his voice when he is reading, which for me makes it more enjoyable. If you are seeking to learn to live off the grid with confidence, this is the audiobook for you.

John has done a brilliant job of creating a farming book that not only teaches you how to manage your greenhouse and grow fruits and nuts but also on how to farm for essential sources of protein in the form of fish. Other books on off grid farming that I have read or listened to have not provided this, so I was really pleased to have a true comprehensive guide to off grid farming. The beekeeping chapters are also fascinating. My neighbour started beekeeping recently but they had problems maintaining it so I’ll also be recommending this to them. My knowledge on off grid farming has improved drastically thanks to John’s book.
