Making Home Profitable by Kate V. Saint Maur

If you’re passionate about sustainable living, home gardening, or running a small hobby farm, Making Home Profitable by Kate V. Saint-Maur is a hidden gem you’ll want to explore. Originally published over a century ago, this classic guide remains surprisingly relevant today—with practical advice that still applies to modern homesteading and self-sufficient living.

I had the pleasure of contributing to the audiobook version through a wonderful collaboration with the talented volunteers at LibriVox. You can hear my narration in:

• Chapter 20 – Lavender and Herbs
• Chapter 23 – Storing Fruits and Vegetables

Even if you only listen to those chapters, I highly recommend the full audiobook. It’s packed with fascinating, hands-on knowledge ranging from preserving produce and planting herbs to managing resources and maximizing homegrown yields.

Whether you’re a modern homesteader or simply love vintage domestic guides, Making Home Profitable offers practical insight and inspiration for making the most of what you grow and produce at home.

Happy listening—and even happier harvesting!
