From Dirt to Dreams focuses on how individuals and families can interact with the natural world in a more responsible and sustainable manner. For those readers mainly interested in learning more about sustainable living, this book provides information that will help readers move toward practices that rely less on commercially produced goods and more on fulfilling their basic needs through farming, raising livestock, and self-producing a variety of basic items. The practical advice presented in this book provides a way for readers to get started on a sustainable pathway and helps readers evaluate what level of sustainable living might be right for them. Guidance is offered for both small- and large-scale changes that can be implemented. Information presented in the book can also be taken a step further by implementing the From Dirt to Dreams program, a 30-40-month timeline in five phases, that begins with preparation and planning and develops into avenues for expanding sales opportunities and creating programs that focus on therapy and education.
