520    Twenty years ago, when authors Shawn and Beth Dougherty 
       purchased the land they would come to name the Sow’s Ear, 
       the state of Ohio designated it znot suitable for 
       agriculture.y Today, their family raises and grows 90% of 
       their own food.  Such self-sufficiency is largely the 
       result of basing their farming practices around intensive 
       pasture management. Pioneered by such luminaries as Allan 
       Savory, Greg Judy, and Joel Salatin, the tenets of 
       holistic grazing―employed mostly by larger-scale 
       commercial operations―have been adapted by the Doughertys
       to fit their family’s needs. In The Independent Farmstead,
       The Sow’s Ear model for regenerating the land and growing 
       food―zthe best you ever tastedy―is elucidated for others
       to use and build upon.  In witty and welcoming style, The 
       Independent Farmstead covers everything from choosing a 
       species of ruminant and incorporating it into a grass-
       based system to innovative electric fencing and watering 
       systems, to what to do with all of the milk, meat, and, 
       yes, manure that the self-sustaining farm produces.--
