I know I say this often but we LOVE Giveaways here at Mary's Heirloom Seeds!
This is an extra special giveaway because we have a new book, The Beginner's Guide to Backyard Homesteading, from Lisa at The Self Sufficient Homeacre as well as heirloom seeds.
I have followed Lisa's blog for years and she also shares great information. She even interviewed me once for her website. You can read here at Mary's Heirloom Seeds - An Interview.
This book is PACKED with helpful information about gardening and raising livestock.
"At one time homesteading allowed settlers to move west and claim land by farming it. Today, modern homesteaders choose to raise backyard chickens and tend gardens and orchards to increase sustainability and self-reliance. You, too, can make your backyard a productive oasis in an uncertain world."
I've already started reading my copy and I love it! If you don't want to wait for the giveaway, you can always pre-order your copy HERE
This giveaway is open to all US residents from August 12th through August 22nd at midnight. You must use the rafflecopter app at the bottom of this post to enter. No purchase necessary.
As an added BONUS, we are also going to send Heirloom Seeds from Mary's Heirloom Seeds!
Giveaway opens 8/12/2020 and ends 8/22/2020 at Midnight.

The first thing I saw on your page this morning was a picture of the Indian corn my Dad used to plant, he called it blue corn. Little short cobs. Dad would set a pot Of water on the stove to boil. Then he would go out and pick the corn. I’ll never forget the taste. This photo reminded my dad, I miss him so much to this day
