About eBackroad
eBackroad  tries to present interesting, useful and hard-to-find country home, garden, building, craft, woodworking and landscaping web sites. It began as architect Don Berg's way of organizing his home and garden bookmarks, magazine clippings and contacts into an easy-to-use search system. Don listed sties because they had innovative products, attractive designs, extensive product lines, exceptional customer service or valuable information. eBackroad is expanding now to present many of the best home, garden and family interest sites and to focus on valuable web sites that are a little difficult to find on the Internet superhighway. It is operated by the Berg family.
