We find these books to be comprehensive and easy to understand.” — Megan Hirt, Mother Earth News “I love these guides – I have most of them. They are easy to read, very organized, well researched, and invaluable to my library.” — Kristy Worthington, Scales Mound, IL There’s a reason readers refer to the Storey’s Guide to Raising books as their “bible.” Each book includes information on selection, housing, space require- ments, behavior, breeding and birthing techniques, feeding, health concerns, and remedies for illnesses.

For those whose animals produce food, and who want their farms to be profitable and sustainable, the books have always emphasized qual- ity, not quantity.
