Meet Werner Langer

Werner Langer is a retired professional photographer, who lives in the city of Brisbane/Australia. His birthplace though was on the other side of the world, in a small town, named Wetter. Born in June 1949, Werner grew up in post-war Germany and was educated in his home country. During his final three years he served as a police-officer. In October 1969 Werner migrated to Australia, soon settling in the outer suburb of Sandgate, in the city of Brisbane, Queensland. In 1972 he entered the College of Art to study photography and these skills equipped him for a forty year long career, twenty-eight of those years as a professional freelance photographer.

His introduction to writing began at the age of forty-two, when an unusual experience on a lonely beach changed his life. “I once was lost, but now I’m found.” These words, written by John Newton, became Werner’s personal possessions on that day, shaping the remainder of his interesting life.

“Nowadays my aim is to follow an invisible guide,” the author writes.

The solid foundations of his Werner’s books are his faith in Jesus Christ, written to bless and provide clarity for his readers.

Werner Langer is the author of three books, titled “About a Gardener” and “About a Relationship”, plus “About a hidden Garden”, all available on the Amazon website.

Werner Langer served as a volunteer chaplain for seven years in the local Magistrates Court. Nowadays the author enjoys a quiet life with his wife and family, a little gardening, sailing and fishing. Watercolour landscape painting is another one of his creative outlets, two of his book-covers feature his paintings.

The Homesteading Encyclopedia: The Essential Beginners Homestead Planning Guide for a Self-Sufficient Lifestyle

Discover how to start your homesteading journey the right away… and avoid making expensive beginner’s mistakes.

Are you thinking about moving to a country homestead, but have no idea how to start planning?

Do you want to raise your level of self-sufficiency, but live in a small city apartment and don’t know how to do it?

Just imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have to rely on municipal power or water grids (or pay those expensive bills every month). 

Not to mention the joy and health benefits of growing your own organic food, instead of being forced to buy supermarket food infused with dangerous chemicals and pesticides. 

Does this sound like a lot of work? 

You’re right. It is. 

Planning your homestead journey can take weeks, or even months if you’re a complete beginner. 

You would have to read numerous books, research the farthest corners of the Internet, and spend thousands of dollars on consultations. 

And even after all that planning, there are no guarantees that you wouldn’t miss something crucial… something that would make a huge dent in your budget and make you regret starting this blasted thing in the first place. 

That’s how it goes for most first-time homesteaders — they make mistakes, lose money, learn from the experience, and spend more money to make it right. 

If you don’t want to be one of them, you’ve come to the right place.

Meet Kelly Reed

My name is Kelly Reed, and my husband Robert and I have been homesteading since 2009. Over a decade of experience with off-grid living has given us a wealth of knowledge and expertise, but it wasn’t always like that! When we started, we were totally new to all of this, just like you. We spent a lot of time and energy looking through resources that promised to help us plan and prepare. We found that there were plenty of resources—in fact, there were almost too many— but it was difficult to navigate such an overwhelming amount of information. Sometimes, these sources seemed to contradict one another, and many also offered an idealized idea of what home? steading life was like, which set us up for a rude awakening. This confusion meant that we went through a lot of frustration and pain, not to mention losing a lot of time and money when we made uninformed or misguided choices. Through a lot of trial and error, we’ve learned the best way to do things—but we don’t want rude awakenings or trial and error for you. That’s why I’ve written this book. I’ve only included the things I believe you need to know so you won’t have to sift through tons of irrelevant content. Reading this, you’ll get the benefit of all of the years I spent testing my research and honing my knowledge, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
