Joann S. Grohman Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The cow is the most productive and efficient creature on earth, providing fresh milk, cream, butter, and cheese, while promoting human health and happiness. For homesteaders and small farmers, she can also yield profits by offering her bounty to local markets. Beyond nourishment, she enriches gardens with manure and enhances the quality of life through natural resources. A family that keeps a cow enjoys numerous benefits. Originally published in the early 1970s as The Cow Economy, this book has inspired thousands of holistic small-scale dairy farmers and families. It addresses common questions like "Should I get a cow?" and "How much space do I need?" while covering essential topics such as the health benefits of untreated milk, effective milking techniques, breed selection, calving, feeding, fencing, housing, and treating common cow ailments. It also includes guidance on making butter, yogurt, and cheese, along with insights often overlooked by the conventional dairy industry. Revised and updated, the book now incorporates new information on the raw milk debate, A1 vs. A2 milk, fully grassfed dairies, and practical advice for everyday chores. Nearly forty years after its first publication, it remains an inspirational manual for raising a family milk cow, reflecting Joann Grohman’s lifetime of practical experience in a fun and educational format.
