BackHome magazine is a bi-monthly publication dedicated to sustainable living and an independent, self-reliant lifestyle. The magazine features a wide variety of subject matter in all areas of sustainable, written with a bit of everything for rural, city, and suburban readers alike. BackHome has been published since 1990, when it was established by former staff of the largest back-to-the-land publication in America.
BackHome succeeds because it is largely written by its own readership-the people that are out there doing what it takes to grow organically, live sustainably, and eat heathfully. It is about building green mortgage-free homes, making home-grown renewable energy, starting successful small business, raising and growing pure chemical-free food, working with rather than against nature, and planning wisely for the future. Articles regularly appearing in the magazine include features on solar and wind energy, organic growing and marketing, crafts and wood shop projects, food preparation and preservation, practical conservation, small livestock and animal husbandry (including poultry, goats, and beekeeping), water harvesting and storage, self-reliant health care, barter and money management, and home education. BackHome is an independent, employee-owned publication based in the mountains of Western North Carolina and distributed throughout North America.
