This classic debut volume of the acclaimed series covers a diverse array of crafts and practical skills, including log cabin building, hog dressing, basketmaking, cooking, fencemaking, crop planting, hunting, and moonshining, as well as a look at the history of local traditions like snake lore and faith healing.

And I'm talking real history, true stories about real people ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by G***. on November 21, 2025* Good book, lots of Information, you never know ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Educational without being boring series that preserves the "old ways". I wish I had the whole collection! *by K***R on March 27, 2017* I read many of the Foxfire series in my 20's as my aunt had a huge collection and now that I am 60 years old, I still find them fascinating. While I was raised in a city, I used to have long visits with my maternal grandmother who had a large farm in the mountains of Tennessee. She was a very unconditionally loving person and taught me a lot of folklore that I treasure today. I was grieved when she died when I was 17 years old but while reading these books, I can feel her at my side, her voice in my head always teaching me the old ways. Now my 18 year old son is presently hooked on the books and sometimes we read them out aloud together. While reading the books, I tell him stories about the history of his family as well as the farm which is still in our family today (although, sadly, no one lives there or farms it anymore). The Foxfire series is so varied and interesting that anyone could find some of the topics, if not all of them, educational and intriguing. I am so glad that someone took the time to preserve the history of the "old ways". ## Frequently Bought Together - The Foxfire Book: Hog Dressing, Log Cabin Building, Mountain Crafts and Foods, Planting by the Signs, Snake Lore, Hunting Tales, Faith Healing, Moonshining: 1 (Foxfire Series) - Foxfire 2: Ghost Stores, Spring Wild Plant Foods, Spinning and Weaving, Midwifing, Burial Customs, Corn Shuckin's, Wagon Making --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/6949156-the-foxfire-book-hog-dressing-log-cabin-building-mountain-crafts](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/6949156-the-foxfire-book-hog-dressing-log-cabin-building-mountain-crafts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
